Hello Genius out there!  I am Dona and am usually guite good at
solving problems but this one has stumped me!  I have a gorgeous fake
geranium potted plant and have it sitting on my deck in between two
gorgeous lounge chairs.  It just so happens that this area on my deck
gets lots and lots of wind, so every plant that I have placed out
there has been blown over and the pot broken into many little pieces!
Now I have this lifelike geranium and it is very light weigght!  There
must be someone out there who can tell me how to get this light weight
pot to stay put on my porch!  Now we are not talking about a hurricane
wind we are just talking about naturals winds because we leave about 2
miles from the ocean.  I will glady pay $10.00 for your solution to my
problem!  Thanks Bunches!  Dona P Forehand
I have tried several things but with no success!  HELP ME IF YOU CAN!

How about drilling several holes in the bottom of the pot and screwing
it down to the deck.

Greetings SillyDuck:

Use two pots.  In a large, decorative pot, deposit sand or small
rocks/pebbles in a bag at the bottom.  Then place the smaller pot
(with the plant) inside the larger one.

Best regards,

Go to a pottery supply store and buy some "wet" clay, it usually comes
in the size of a brick, cut pieces off,  and stuff it in the pot. Then
take some decorative moss and stick it in the clay (fasten with hair
pins), it will look nice... then stick your geranium in the clay. It
will take a long time for the clay to dry and even when it does, it is
heavy enough to keep that pesky pot upright. This solution will leave
no mess in case your pot SHOULD flip over

Good luck
Anne
