It’s a holy day today! I’ve learned how to drill holes through glass, terracotta, and ceramic using a diamond drill. The pots my dad made when I was a teenager can now be proper plant pots. nd my sisal agave on the left. #baldcypress #floridanativeplants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #OutdoorGrowing #TheWateringHole @HFplantoasis @HummingbirdMint @Idplantthat @ILoveMyPlants @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Luckeecharm1 @ModestCoconut13 @Ms.Persnickety @newplantgirlies @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @QuickKalopanax @sarah10orio @Shells_Garden @SillyPlantGirl @SizableSuncup20 @smushface @SolaceInSunshine @RefinedSandwort @Ponytailmom @Blhagmaier @BigPetunia80 @BEsucculent @UnbeatenSoybean @TopCoriander6 @stephongreg @ILoveMyPlants @SpyderLily @Ms.Persnickety @CutePolypremum @DreamMachine @ILoveMyPlants @MariansOasis @SillyPlantGirl @Tiffanypickles @4eva @ @NOLAPhoenix @Devsleafypals #Greggang #TheWateringHole #gracefulspurge
Very exciting I have always been scared to do it!
That is so exciting (and cool)!!
@Succulent_Soul it’s really easy. I even did it with no water, just stop periodically to let it cool or spritz it with water if I get worried. Glass is the hardest to get through, but if you get almost there you can take a screwdriver and hammer and pop out the β€œplug β€œ. I even drilled a hole in a pot that still had a plant in it! Worked well on the terracotta. Takes a bit of coordination drilling upside down. Then I’m nothing if not scary daring.
Yay Barbara @BEsucculent that’s so cool 😎!! I’m sure your dad would be thrilled to know his pots continue to give you enjoyment! ☺️. Also I love the flamingo 🦩 pot 🩷🀍
@MariansOasis couldn’t agree more, Marian! Barbara @BEsucculent this is excellent! How fun. And I love the mosaic tile looking pot!
I once had a more expensive hobby that made me learn how to drill glass (saltwater fish). Scary at first, but once I got the hang of it, piece of cake.
