Materials: IKEA Tradig bowl
Description: The IKEA Tradig is a perfect fruit bowl and it also makes an excellent planter. All you need is the bowl, a coconut shell liner made for hanging baskets, soil, and some plants.
When I could not find a coconut shell liner small enough to fit, I cut a couple of inches off the smallest size I could get at the garden center. I started out simple with just some dwarf papyrus and then spruced it up with a few hens & chicks and other small succulents. So far the Tradig is holding up nicely outdoors in the Midwest. My plants are thriving!

ReplyDeleteLooks better with plant than fruit. Great idea
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have my planter added here! Someone was wondering about rust and it hasn't shown any signs of rust yet. It has been outdoors for approx 2 and a half months. IF it does end up rusting out, I'll be sure to let you know on my blog! I have had a powder coated patio set outdoors for 1 month and it already has rust spots. I think the Tradig is going to be ok.
ReplyDeleteSo simple. Love it!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW ! I totally agree with the other poster who said it looks better as a planter than just with fruit :)
