Wonderful Upside Down Planters

And yes, there is nothing difficult in making such planters. But if you don’t really have time to make some, you can also buy some. They can be found in different designs and colors, and most often have a hook on the bottom to hang them where you want. These pots have an internal water reservoir that distributes moisture to the roots of plants.
