Learn how to make pebble plant pots for your garden:
Step 1
Cut the pebble tile mesh to suit the size of your pot.
Step 2
Use the putty knife and cover the outside of the pot with the tile adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 3
Carefully place the pebble mesh tile and push down into place, and remove any excess tile adhesive. Wait for the tile adhesive to dry cure.
Step 4
Add the ready mixed grout using the putty knife, making sure to get into all the gaps around the pebbles.
Step 5
Remove any excess grout with a slightly damp sponge. And wait to dry. Polish the pot with a clean soft cloth.
Step 6
Paint the top and inside of the pot with Resene exterior paint for a finishing touch. Add potting mix and plant to your new pebble pot.
