Hi, thanks so much for the video! It was just what I was looking for. Can I ask for the actual measurements of cement, sand and water you used in your demonstration? Was it standard cups? Thanks.
Thank you and we are glad you enjoyed the video. I do not have video for drainage tray as we do not use them. Our succulents are mostly outside so water just flows freely to the ground. I make some concrete trays but mostly for my candles as trinkets. Haha. But if you have the moulds for the tray, it should work exactly the same, just remember to really shake well so there will be less air bubbles. Thanks
Hi. If I use them for plants, I do not seal them as I want them to be as porous as possible.. But if you need to seal them, you can use one for pots and ornaments.
I have a question, when my molds are all done, the top or rather, bottom of the vase is very irregular even if I put a decent ammount of concrete. it is also a 3 day drying concrete. how do you avoid it getting so rough? I'm thinking mine just drink up a lot of the water and it gives it that irregular finish...? any help?
Hello! :) we usually tap the mould multiple times to achieve a level surface, which also allow the air bubbles to go up and released.. if your mix doesn’t have a lot of water, you just have to tap it longer to achieve a flatter surface.. also suggest to pour in the mix by parts (for smaller moulds, 1/3 parts works for us, or 1/4 parts for bigger moulds) then tap it before the next part to allow the mix to settle in properly. :)
yes, we wash them but the seal will be depending on what we use them for. If putting in candles, we seal them. For succulents, we don’t so they can remain as porous as possible..
Hi Michelle, you can plant any succulent in pots with no holes but you will really need to ensure not to overwater. Alternatively, you can also add in some holes. ;)
Hi Christine. We just bought them from Ebay. just searched silicon pot mould and all of them will appear in all shapes and sizes.. They are all from China so if you search with Wish or Aliexpress, you will definitely find some too.. They are not expensive.. Have fun creating your pots..;)
Hi Marta Joy, I am not sure anymore of the links for the molds. We bought these via Ebay. You can try searching for silicon molds and heaps will appear. usually they come from China. Have a go and hope this will work well for you. Cheers. - Leslie
Hi! Thanks for the enquiry. We changed the brand of our cement now (as compared to the video) and What worked for our products now is 3 parts sand and 2 parts cement. :)
Hi @Ritisah Peerthy, we found from experience that concrete mix with high ratio of cement tends to crack easily. you may wish to try different ratio of cement and aggregate (eg. sand) and find the best mix (as this depends on the quality/type of cement as well). all the best! 😊
try vertical wall.. start will a small space.. we do not have a big backyard too.. ..have a look at our semi-garden tour video, you wil see that most of them are in racks..
Finally I’ve found detailed tutorial.. Thank you so much!❤
You’re welcome 😊Glad that the video worked for you. =)
Such a well made, informative video! Thank you
Thanks Melissa, you are so kind. Glad you liked it!

Love this video. Do you have a video on how to make a matching drainage tray?
Thank you and we are glad you enjoyed the video. I do not have video for drainage tray as we do not use them. Our succulents are mostly outside so water just flows freely to the ground.

I’m making some home decor and desk organizers. Do I need to seal them? If yes, which sealant would you recommend?
Hi. If I use them for plants, I do not seal them as I want them to be as porous as possible.. But if you need to seal them, you can use one for pots and ornaments.
use a concrete sealer like the one used for stamp crete

oh, I make sure to wiggle it when it's wet so there are no air bubbles

Can you use play sand? And what type of concrete? Like what materials should I buy from the big box stores
Hi sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can use play sand. then mix with concrete and water..
Very nice video 📹 👍
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the video. I was wondering how to use the glue stick in my mold.
Glad it was helpful! I did not know what to do with them at first too. Husband had to point it out to me. =)
Galing mo naman

Thank you again sis
Where can I buy this rubber mold .
Hello. Lovely! Where do I get those molds? 😊
Thank you. They were shipped from China. I guess if you go online via ebay or Amazon, you will definitely be able to get some. =)
Nkaabot po.. 😃😃
Hi! How do you make some of your cement pots white?
Hi. So sorry I missed your comment. We use white cement, the usual cement. You can usually fin them next to each other in a trade shop.
Do you wash or seal them after making please.
yes, we wash them but the seal will be depending on what we use them
for. If putting in candles, we seal
them. For succulents, we don’t so they can remain as porous as possible..
@@SucculentSocial thank you. This has been so helpful.
I bought a cement pot...no drail hole.. So which succulents would be ok without drainage?? Or should i just use it as a cover pot??
Hi Michelle, you can plant any succulent in pots with no holes but you will really need to ensure not to overwater. Alternatively, you can also add in some holes. ;)
(oh and sorry, I got to reply only now. We recently moved home which was such a big task, was not able to open the YT account)
Ang cucute nila , yung nabili ko sa amazon may butas na kasi may nakalagay sa gitna
that’s even better!
Hi, can you link us the sand and cement mix please?
Oh, we just bought them from Bunnings. Any white cement will do..;)
What type of cement do you use? Portland?
Hi there. Just the regular Type GB cement. ☺️
Do you oil the silicone molds? If so with what?
We’ve heard about it but we haven’t tried yet.. interesting how that turns out. We’ll probably try that and we’ll let you know.. 😊
Hi Guys, can i please ask where you bought your moulds from?
Could you share the link?
Hi Christine.
We just bought them from Ebay. just searched silicon pot mould and all of them will appear in all shapes and sizes.. They are all from
China so if you search with Wish or Aliexpress, you will definitely find some too..
They are not expensive.. Have fun creating your pots..;)
@@SucculentSocial thanks so much Leslie 😊😊
Where did you get those molds?
just bought them off ebay, shipped from China…;)
@@SucculentSocial thanks!
What kind of cement do you use??
We’re using general purpose cement for our concrete pots.
What kind of cement do you use
Hi. We use general builder's cement.. =)
Wish they shared the link for the molds.
Hi Marta Joy, I am not sure anymore of the links for the molds. We bought these via Ebay. You can try searching for silicon molds and heaps will appear. usually they come from China. Have a go and hope this will work well for you. Cheers.

What is the Cement to Sand ratio?
Hi! Thanks for the enquiry. We changed the brand of our cement now (as compared to the video) and What worked for our products now is 3 parts sand and 2 parts cement. :)
I made these pots but after 2 to 3 days they start to crack..any solution for this?
Hi @Ritisah Peerthy, we found from experience that concrete mix with high ratio of cement tends to crack easily. you may wish to try different ratio of cement and aggregate (eg. sand) and find the best mix (as this depends on the quality/type of cement as well). all the best! 😊
