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. :)
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.
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..
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..
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! 😊
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. ;)
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 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! 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 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
Finally I’ve found detailed tutorial.. Thank you so much!❤

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

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
wow i like this tutorial very informative DONNAHVIE
What kind of cement do you use
Hi. We use general builder's cement.. =)
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.
Where to get the silicone moulds?
You can buy from online shops like ebay, amazon or aliexpress..

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.
Hi, can you link us the sand and cement mix please?
Oh, we just bought them from Bunnings. Any white cement will do..;)
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 dami nila wow, bagay na bagay sa mga babies succulent
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 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
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. =)

how nice tutorial thanks for sharing DONNAHVIE
thank you..
What kind of cement do you use??
We’re using general purpose cement for our concrete pots.
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.. 😊
Nkaabot po.. 😃😃
