Happy day dear community. I hope you are all very well.
This is going to be a short writing because I have several days without being able to make an article.
I have always been looking for a way to earn a little more money, I started several projects but they stopped working for various reasons, one of these projects that I started last year was to grow cactus and succulents for sale, given the price of pots is very high, I was planting in recycled plastic cups, in different types of cans, but I felt that there was a void.
Once I was checking the web, google that knows everything, asked me why don't you do it?, as a researcher I tried many things, I broke compact discs trying to make molds, I cut wood, I made paper molds, acrylic molds, it seemed that nothing worked, until I cut some plastic bottles and I found what I was looking for, a mold to make cement pots.
I must make it clear that I would like to have those silicone molds, they are beautiful but I still don't have enough BCH for that.

I like to make these pots, but they are not profitable, it takes me a long time to make them, in about 4 hours I can make 12, then the unmolding the next day 1 hour or more, you have to remove them carefully that they do not break. I leave them to soak for 24 hours after unmolding.
Then, for the finishing, I make a paste with glue and cement. After it has dried, I sand it with fine sandpaper.
The paint and design is optional.
I have stopped making the pots because of the time it took me, but I got engaged by a friend to make several of them, that has not allowed me to make the articles, I have also been busy with other things.

What beautiful pots. But what I love are the succulents. I wish you lived nearby to buy a few at a time. I almost never go out because of this walking pest. But I like to buy cacti and succulents.
