How To | Weathered Terra-cotta Pots

DIY weathered terra-cotta pots. We picked up a flat of these wash basin style terra-cotta pots for some upcoming projects and I thought I'd take this opportunity to share how I whitewash terra-cotta pots for my cactus and succulents. Whitewashing is a simple budget-friendly way to create unique distressed weathered looks on your terra-cotta pots.

I seriously love everything about you. Your style, your organizational skills, your neatness... please post more organizational videos! Those are my fav. Been a subscribing for a long time now and always love your videos !

[@tramelparker2085]

Dbubblesss28 yes her style is awesome

[@ashleypittman8976]

Those look SO much nicer with the orange toned down and white washed like that! Thank you for sharing!

[@ross-smithfamily6317]

I love this idea for transforming terra cotta pots. An option for building on your idea is to use a non-toxic milk or chalk paint, if you intend to use the pot for growing edible herbs or vegetables.

[@FuriedHearts]

I thought of a really cool idea randomly the other day. I wanna try staining terra pots with black tea. Just brew up a super strong batch of tea and soak the pop in it. I can’t stand the awkward orange look of fresh terra cotta pots. Blech. The tea should darken it perfectly. And no chemicals or paints

[@debofChrist]

Stephen Bailey That's a great idea. I have 4 grandchildren (boys) we get for the summer. They love to follow me around in the flower beds and I try to keep them busy with easy not messy crafts. We paint rocks, chalk the sidewalk , they each have watering cans, etc. I cant wait to do this. The really small pots would be great then they could maybe do thumb prints and pop in a succulent or a battery candle. Great idea. If you have more I'd really appreciate your thoughts. God bless

[@lindadagley8280]

Great idea..

[@phenylalaninemusic]

Did it work? I have to try this, I hate the “new” look as well. Thanks for the idea! 🙂

[@lisaawild]

Was it a success?

[@blossomsandbundles]

Those pearls look like they are about to burst! And the pots look fantastic! I love the aged look.

[@Thankful_.]

I agree! Thanks for sharing this demo!

[@kaungmyatlynn906]

[@blossomsandbundles]

@@kaungmyatlynn906 string of pearls.

[@michellemilot7632]

I love this need to see more videos like this specially big pots also!!!!

[@nechialee4624]

Thanks Christine, always love watching your videos. I love the way the pots turned out, so beautiful. I am in awe just looking at them sit on the banister out in the shade with the succulents. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BirdKisser]

I love these short, fat, round pots! I was thinking of trying to find some for a while now, and then you find a whole flat of them! 😄 I really like how you made them look with the paint. I'm super excited and looking forward to more plant and potting videos! Thank you!

[@janetac1738]

I love this I can't believe I'm just seeing this video now! I use terracotta pots for all of my succulents I even have a huge strawberry pot that I'm going to do this on!

[@bunnobear]

Love this video, I was thinking of painting some pots white and then I saw this video, explains why my succulents in a glazed pot aren’t doing so well. Look forward to more plant videos

[@TheNunafeedtheducks]

I love the rustic look it’s my kind of garden and house plant pot style, great video thank you for sharing @Christinekobzeff ❤️ 🌱 🌸

[@sandra666]

I love these videos. Your diys have changed my house for the better. 😃

[@HulaShack1]

When I get a notification you posted a video, I drop everything and sit down for my moment of zen time. Always so relaxing and fun.

[@sandramurphy685]

Hi Christine, my name is Sonny Murphy and was watching your video on white washing terra-cotta pots. But then I noticed the pots you were using and WOW! I have been all over the internet trying to find this style low belly pot and have had no luck. I first saw these pots in Sedona, AZ and love them. WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM PLEASE!!!!! Thanks

[@JennsCorner777]

I miss these creative videos, they're the reason I subbed years and years ago, thanks for including this!

[@zeninme7980]

This was nice. Love the weathered effect on the pots. The pots are so cute. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoys these type of videos..very informative and in ways so very relaxing! These type are the best! 😊

[@amym4991]

LOVE these plant videos! Cant wait for the upcoming ones.

[@queenh33]

String of pearls in that pot looks so darling!

[@hanaleidesigns8539]

Looking forward to more plant videos! Thanks for sharing. 💜🌸🌺

[@retroredo9850]

I love the look of white washing the pots! I also buy Behr samples in black, white and primary colors for decades. Cheaper than small craft paint bottles. We have rocks in our yard naturally! I looked for the small granite ones and put one in my paint containers. They are the heaviest for size. Even when the paint dries out some I can add a little water and shake to use it all up!

[@lynsiebringans4497]

Those pots Christine are very cool🤗🤗🤗 Looking forward too the up coming videos. Lynsie

[@cocowaters8286]

So beautiful and simple, I love how they turned out!

[@camilahearst4171]

Beautiful work!

[@prachiawasthi2176]

DIY after such a long time...super stoked 😍😍😍

[@voodle48]

Love these. So understated but beautiful.

[@Kuromichi08]

Your aesthetics in everything is just GOALS, literally! And I’m SOOOO excited that you’ll be doing more succulent/plant related videos! Was definitely one of the very reasons I subscribed to you 🤗🤗❤️ And it’s so awesome you’re living in my home town (I currently live in LA)! It’s nice to see familiar places you visit around Tucson. 😁

[@DBT2014]

Awesome job Christine! I looove your videos ❤️. You are such an inspiration! ❤️😘

Very inspiring and fun to watch. I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos.

[@pattie2day]

Love that white-washed look! Cool video.

[@DictatorBean]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I have lighter coloured pots and then some very dark terracotta coloured pots and I hoped there was a way to give the darker pots a lighter shade to make them match the lighter pots better and this is just perfect for what I had in mind. Thank you very much.

[@bibinek9950]

OMG!!! So beautiful. I want them all😍

[@cavindeppe505]

Love your plant videos!😊

[@kaycox5555]

[@evelyn4043]

Gorgeous! I want this pots!

[@Ncris1107]

This looks so beautiful and relaxing 😌

[@SheisB515]

I watched a video where the person( pretty sure it was Planterina) put their terracotta pots in tap water and the minerals that dried left that same white cast. Just a natural alternative ☺

[@opalmoon2256]

Great tip!!! We just painted ours but I luv how those turn out!!!😍💙✌🌵

[@deana1892]

Yeah ! Just in time for me to kill time at the airport .. we flyin off soon for a family vacation Christine ! 🤩

[@mysticshining]

Looks great! Thanks Christine :) Love your plants

[@lindadagley8280]

Very nice...adorable!!

[@madzia851229001]

awesome idea thank you for sharing ;)

[@cursing_creations]

Great DIY video!

[@catgirldo7646]

The pots turned out really nice. I like toning down the orange and had never considered your technique. The cacti look beautiful and am looking forward to seeing more of them. Have been putting off watching You Tube videos for a few months hoping that there will be enough to get me through the cold weather which has hit us hard in the last week so. Loved the last video when Michael was interviewing you - it was a mini-documentary and so very enjoyable. Hope you both have a great weekend. Oh - and, would be interested to know how Michael's green glow-in-the-dark radium glass collection is coming along.

[@Mizz.Person]

Great idea! The white washing will also cover up any salt stains etc.

[@sorsara78]

so pretty

[@tramelparker2085]

So pretty I have to try

[@tinacosco7214]

You make it look easy. Those plants look great against the terra cotta and white wash.

[@missybean2223]

those are so beautiful!

[@PleasantPrickles]

Those look so nice! 😍

[@carmenwhitehead]

I love this look! Thanks for sharing!

[@kdls09]

Yay an actual easy DIY.. decorative planters can be expensive.

[@scrapper900]

Love!!!!

[@beam8250]

Yay for more plant vlogs! Love them!

[@mariamendoza672]

Beautiful!

[@debrabrickus8467]

I love that look.

[@raiderfrankdatank]

Awesome

[@factitiously]

awesome! I would love if you could do a video explaining which kinds of pots you're supposed to choose for which kinds of plants. I'm a beginner, and I have no idea 😀

[@nickm4055]

Those pots (with the caudron shape) at that price range are like impossible to find. Can you give your viewers any tips on what company might stock those? They are awesome

[@doowopshopgal]

Great idea

[@stolv3771]

Adorable

[@candycanes7581]

I do my pots this way, I do adore these shaped pots! Pet peeve is when the distributors write the price in black marker on the bottom of the pots. If I soak and scrub most of the time it comes off, but not always. And stickers, oh nooo the sticker residue is just a pain. I’m gonna keep an eye out for this shape.

[@arianacorrea3152]

Hi, I look forward to using your technique! I just hope that the paint won't get all bubbled up with the humidity from the water. You didn't use a sealent, I guess it's not need it?

[@CC-lq3ie]

look great 😊

[@louflores7697]

It's lovely

[@jannicol5783]

Love it!!!!

[@saraluvsdidier]

i want these pots!! 🤗

[@barbarasweeney6260]

I like this but wonder what kind of paint to use.

[@kathybuttermore9660]

Thanks for sharing. I tried it with a brush; it didn't go so well. You could also add some green to make it look like moss.

[@hanaleidesigns8539]

Good find on the pots, where did you find those? I might have to do a road trip to Arizona next year. Your nursery’s seem to be a tad more interesting than ours here in central Cali. All the good shops are either up north or down south, nuthin’ in the middle ☹️. I’m always watching out for your videos, look forward to all your plant videos. Your an inspiration for all the Vegans out there, unfortunately I’m not one, but I don’t mind watching those videos either ☺️. Looking forward to your future vlogs. 💜🌸🌺

[@cawffeeaddict1164]

Such cute pots! And they turned out great! I Question…. Do you treat them with something so the finish doesn’t run in the rain? I have a set of pots with an Aztec design, and chalk finished…. They were great, u til it rained. Now the chalk finish is runny, or just altogether gone.

[@KayeCarterTV]

Beautiful 💕👍🏼💕

[@pledford7402]

Where can I find those pots? They're perfect. Thank you.

[@nanibuchanan7443]

Will the painting of the pot better help to seal it so it lasts longer?

[@leavena7824]

Yes. You could use a spray with a matte finish.

[@erickanyc8907]

Missed you!☺️

[@buongiornocolore]

Love the way they turned out abd live that background music you use in the end of the video (what is it called, I would like to use it too, did you get it on a specific site?).

[@HelenMcCutchen2]

Nice

[@tamoracernyprofessionalorg7647]

Thank you so beautiful! 💞💞💞💞💞😻

[@barbmclean8665]

Christine!!! How do you keep your String of Perarls looking so healthy? Please help!!!

[@dragonflylvr1]

Hi. I love the look of whitewashing. I wonder, can you use any color to do this or will it look odd with colors other than white? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that was whitewashed in another color.

[@zeninme7980]

Hmm...what an interesting idea. I would think it would turn out pretty cool! 👍👍

[@PurpleNothing]

I think if you wanted the color to pop more, doing a coat of whitewash and then going over it again with a color wash might help. :) I was thinking about the same thing

[@mairwaugus5203]

A sage green or light blue would be pretty

[@whitetigersallie1146]

I just watched your DIY lip balms. I was wondering if you can do an updated video if you still make them
