Step 5: Stabilize with soil, finish with pebbles
Adding more soil and finishing with a top layer of clay pebbles promotes healthy growth and a polished appearance.
To set up:
-
Fill the sides with soil: Add soil gradually around the plant’s root ball, pressing it lightly to remove air pockets. Leave 5–7 cm (2–3 inches) of space at the top for easier watering.
-
Add the second layer of clay pebbles: Spread a 1–2 cm (0.5–1 inch) layer of clay pebbles evenly over the soil’s surface, fully covering all exposed soil. Adding pebbles are not only aesthetically pleasing, they also prevent soil from drying out and splashing up while watering.
This method provides a secure and well-drained environment for your plant to thrive.
