I've had this toilet roll holder sitting around in the cupboard for a few years, the lid got broken so I don't use it to hold the loo rolls anymore but kept it thinking it would make a cool vase or something. Since my campfire succulents are growing like crazy I thought I'd take some clippings and plant them out into it ... Trust me it looks better than it sounds!
BEFORE
Just your average white ceramic toilet roll holder with a bit of a funky lean to it

I filled it most of the way with rocks (succulents need good drainage)
Then added some potting mix
As you can see my campfire succulents are growing like CRAZY
so I was doing them a favour taking a few cuttings
Planted a few cuttings into the new pot
AFTER
Now it looks like a funky succulent pot and you would never know
what it use to serve as!

I think it looks really cool under the patio on the little corner setting and along side my Ikea pot
Have you ever used anything out of the ordinary as a pot plant holder?
Please share so I don't feel like such a weirdo!

You are turning into quite the little gardener! I love it, it looks very awesome with the ikea pot.
ReplyDeleteIn keeping with the toilet theme, a lady I work with has got an actual toilet in her front garden. It has strawberries growing in it. And unless you look closely, well it just looks like a white ceramic shaped pot.
I use whatever will hold soil! I have a cool Budweiser metal ice bucket which has a chilli plant in it, it looks really cool on the table! Ive also used Ikea tubs that I had no use for anymore as well. Your new pot looks great!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love that you picked some super funky succulents to live in your super funky pot ...
ReplyDelete... and how could it have been a toilet paper holder with that funky lean to it?
... so happy you shared with us at our Great Outdoors link party!

I just can't picture TP in that....love it for plants though! I have a few of those white IKEA pots on my desk:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little repurpose. And, you're right, it is super funky. Love it. Thank you so much for sharing at our party!

Super funky fabulousness! Love using things for a different purpose! In fact, my tp holder is an old Johnnie Walker scotch tin!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to our Outdoors party.

What a clever idea! I have become a HUGE fan of succulents this year (as it seems that I am unable to kill them ;)
ReplyDeleteI might have to try this :)
This looks great! I was certainly wondering when you mentioned it in your comment so of course I had to come check it out :) I love all the different vessels that people are using for plants this year. I can't wait to get my hands on an old metal toolbox. It's waiting for me in the basement of our cottage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
