Use hot glue to cover the hole in the bottom of the pot, DO NOT TAKE THE STICKER OFF

- You can paint the outside of the pot if you want to before adding the glue

Add the Dirt/Sand

While holding the plant upright, fill the pot with your fake dirt/sand about 2/3 of the way full.
- Make sure to leave room for the fake grass/moss to sit without overflowing out of the pot

Using a bit of hot glue to secure it (if needed), place your fake grass/moss around the stem of the plant and pat it down.
- Make sure none of the dirt/sand is showing

Secure Everything
