We didn’t choose the plant lady life, the plant lady life chose us 👊🪴
Happy Friday! Here are some benefits to having house plants: They enhance your space, boost mood, reduce anxiety, visually appealing, improve attention, lower stress, increase creativity, and lower toxins in the air 🙌

What you will need:
A 5 gallon bucket to mix, quickcrete, water, 2 boxes, wax paper, gloves, & something to mix with.
The wax paper is so the concrete doesn’t bond to the cardboard. Cardboard will absorb all the moisture and not hold shape.
Follow instructions on the bag to mix the Concrete to your desired consistency.
You’ll want to remove the cardboard and paper right away after it sits over night so it can finish drying out. At this point you can sand or smooth any rough areas, as the concrete is still workable. I used regular sand paper 300 grit.
Last but not east you’ll need to drill a hole for drainage, the concrete isn’t 100% hard at this point so it’s an easy drill.
The smaller planter isn’t dry but I wanted to show you with the plant, I’ll update tomorrow when it’s the correct color!
Once it’s fully dry you can put concrete sealer or paint on to protect it. I’m going to use clear, I like the natural look.
