Made using a complex hand-constructed mold, this DIY plant pot looks a lot like a tropical citrus fruit. South Korean blogger Hobby Design was reminded of pineapple leaves when seeing a sprouting plant, which is what inspired this DIY.
The plant holder is made of colored cement. The blogger prepares an intricately hand-drawn plastic mold, then fills it with liquid concrete. The full step-by-step pictorial is available on the Hobby Design blog.
The plump pineapple-like shape suits perfectly the type of plants that sprout like palm trees. The design resembles a pineapple by incorporating the right type of leaves on top, adding tropical flavor to any room or outdoor balcony. However, the geometrical DIY plant holder would make a cute pot for any other types of flowers.
