How to Design the Perfect Planter with Water Free Greenery

Let’s talk planters—the ultimate way to add personality and charm to any space, indoors or out. And the best part? With Water Free Greenery, you can skip the watering can and still get all the wow.

Whether you’re freshening up your porch, styling a graveside arrangement, or creating a stunning centerpiece, here’s how to build a beautiful, long-lasting planter that looks like the real thing (but better).

 

What You’ll Need:

  • A planter of your choice: hanging basket, cement pot, plastic vessel, or something you already love
  • Faux stems or bunches from Water Free Greenery (Maribel, Evelyn, Gloria, Scarlett—whatever fits your vibe)
  • A foam insert, rock base, or our patent-pending cement stem holder
  • Optional filler: faux trailing ivy, Spanish moss, or decorative stones
  • Scissors or wire cutters

 

 


Step-by-Step Guide:

 

1. Choose Your Container

Start with the size and shape. Want something eye-catching? Go with one of our black metal hanging baskets or our large cement planters. Working with a small table? Our white plastic pots are clean and minimal.

2. Secure Your Base

Use a foam block or one of our signature cement stem holders to anchor your arrangement. This keeps everything sturdy and reusable season after season.

3. Start with Structure

Place your taller stems in the center or back—Gloria’s soft ferns or Evelyn’s ivy give great dimension. Use odd numbers for a more natural look.

4. Add Color and Texture

Tuck in your focal blooms like Maribel or Scarlett to bring the drama. Fill gaps with trailing eucalyptus or lavender for softness and movement.

5. Style the Edges

Let some pieces spill slightly over the edge—especially in hanging baskets—to mimic natural growth and give your design a lush, full look.

6. Finish with Detail

Pop in some moss, faux dirt, or pebbles to cover the base and complete the illusion. Optional: fairy lights for nighttime sparkle.
