Disco Ball Plant Pot

Disco and pot go hand in hand. You can even pot a pot plant in your disco plant pot. 

 

Materials

A small, styrofoam disco ball

Craft knife

Sturdy twine or chain

Potting mix

A plant of your choice

Cup hook or S hook to hang

 

Method

 

  1. Using the craft knife, carve the top portion of the disco ball off – hopefully your disco ball is hollow, if not, you’ll need to scoop all the styrofoam out like a pumpkin, leaving about half an inch of styrofoam to line the planter.
  2. Using your craft knife, pop a mirror off from either side of the ball a few rows down from the top and stab a hole in each side.
  3. Thread your chain or sturdy doubled up twine through your holes so your planter can hang.
  4. Fill your hollow disco ball with potting mix – the styrofoam is plastic so leakage shouldn’t be an issue. Ensure your twine is sturdy enough to hold your now heavy disco ball.
  5. Plant a trailing plant such as a pothos, heartleaf philodendron or chain of hearts.
  6. Hang in a sunny window from an S hook or cup hook and enjoy vibez.
