Summary

I made wall-mounted flower pots for my calathea plants collection.

The wall-mounted bowl is bigger with enough space for clay/lava or rocks of your choice, to keep enough water for evaporation. It helps to maintain higher humidity for these rainforest plants. In the middle is a thread to keep the flower pot in place and above water level.

Don´t forget to put on the bottom of the flower pot some cloth and stones for the drainage layer.

I highly recommend painting the bowl's inner part with some transparent acryl spray or spray sealant to provide 100% water tightness.

Wall mount is made from PCTG. With classic supports for thread and holes. ABS/ASA should be a better option. PETG would be good enough too.

Holes for two 3,5 mm embed screws, upper allows leveling.
