Found this project online and thought I'd try it since the tall planters I wanted were over $100 each!

Step 1 of 6

Spray paint all your pots the same or different colors, or leave them natural, your choice

Step 2 of 6

Add dirt to your bottom pot and pack well since it will support the weight of the pots above

Step 3 of 6

Repeat stacking and packing

Step 4 of 6

Be sure not to fill pots too full. Allow room for the plants

Step 5 of 6

Set your plants in the pots to check for placement and aesthetics. I used creeping Jenny, begonias, and impatients, all shade plants since mine are in my porch

Step 6 of 6

Sit back and enjoy!

You're Done!

I didn't use terra cotta pots. I found plastic pots at Walmart to try it out and I used a smaller pot inverted in the largest pot so I didn't use as much dirt. It worked perfectly. I'm really happy with the outcome.
