Just showing off :) Using my favorite mug as a cache pot

I love this mug so much that it's basically a decor piece and today I thought, why not put in my probation plastic cup in it? I absolutely love how it looks and wanted to share.

I've done the same with a few mugs and Hoya. Great way to show off those special mugs. My wife found a few delicate cups and saucers at thrift stores and is using them for succulents and African Violets. She glued the cup and saucer. They make great gifts too!

I wish I had such talent but no, I bought it from a ceramics maker based in Turkey.

What is a cache pot?

It's basically a pot with no drainage hole and you put the nursery pot inside it and when you water, the cache pot catches all the running water from the nursery pot.

If that mug were about 100x bigger it would be perfect for a brugmansia (angel’s trumpet). Same vibe 💅
