Now put the pre-potted artificial plant in your new pot. You may not need the rocks at the bottom if the new pot is similar in size that you got from the seller. The sand at the bottom helps the plant to settle down easily and decrease the chance to wobble as the base gets heavy.

If the plant is not potted from the seller then you will need to buy some planting foam to help the plant stand accordingly on a firm base. Based on the pot size the foam needs to be cut.

Step 2: Try To Be In The Center Point Of The Pot

The center point gives a better look as well as the strength at the base which helps to carry the pot without any problem.  

Step 3: Putting the Sand and Pebbles

Most of the time we see after putting the plant in the new pot there is a space that needs to be filled. Here it’s better to use the extra sand to fill up space properly. After leveling up with the sand the pebbles come into action to cover the sand tops.

Not only the big planting pots the rocks can be used within the small planting vase also to bring on the natural look. You can keep the rocks in natural form or also can give it a colorful shade. If you are living in wet weather, it’s better to color them it helps to wash them easily and the smoothness of the acrylic does not lets to stand the dust that easy.
