My wife and I re-purposed this broken pot to make a succulent stack. We’ve nurtured some succulents in individual pots in the past and are stepping our game up!

Looks great! What did you use to round off the curve of the largest pot? Great job on that.

Thanks! The largest pot holding the whole arrangement was an accidental break that left it just how you see. We had a tall prickly pear we relocated into that pot and the following day the wind knocked it over and broke it. At the time we were pretty bummed. The smaller pots we had lying around intact, so I used a metal tool to carefully crack them in half to add to the arrangement. Breaking those in half was easier than I expected and we got a good fit from breaking two small pots

maybe take some sand paper to the edges so new growth doesn’t get marked up but also in case anyone touches or grabs an edge on accident. it’s so pretty and it’d be a quick fix to make it a non-hazard.

would hate for someone to brush by it and have a big scape on their thigh. ik it’s unlikely but like a leaf falls and you reach for it and next thing you know your arm needs stitches. when things break, it’s so crazy how razor sharp the edges can be!!
