Materials preparation and production steps precautions As people pursue higher and higher quality of life, cultivating flowers has become an important way for many people to cultivate their sentiments and beautify their homes. Among the many flower pot materials, cement orchid flower pots are loved by many flower friends because of their unique texture and durability. Let us learn how to make a cement orchid flower pot that is both beautiful and practical! Material preparation 1. Cement: You can choose ordinary cement, and no particularly high-grade cement is needed.
2. Sand: Fine sand, used to mix with cement.
3. Aggregate: such as river sand, gravel, etc., to increase the weight and stability of the flowerpot.
4. Ceramic fragments or stained glass fragments: used to decorate the surface of flower pots.
5. Sandpaper: Used to polish the surface of flower pots.
6. Plastic bucket or mold: used to make the shape of flower pots.
7. Tools such as brushes and stirring rods. Production step 1. Mixing cement: Mix it according to the ratio of cement: sand: aggregate (for example, 1:2:1) and stir evenly.
2. Mold preparation: Clean the plastic bucket or mold to ensure that the interior is smooth and free of stains.
3. Mold filling: Pour the mixed cement into the mold and compact it with a mixing rod to make the cement surface even.
4. Add decorative materials: Before the cement solidifies, embed ceramic fragments or stained glass fragments on the cement surface to make it evenly distributed.
5. Waiting for solidification: Place the prepared flowerpot in a ventilated and cool place and wait for the cement to completely solidify. It usually takes 24-48 hours.
6. Remove the flowerpot: After the cement solidifies, gently remove the flowerpot, taking care not to damage the surface of the flowerpot.
7. Grind the surface: Use sandpaper to polish the surface of the flower pot to make it smoother.
8. Coloring treatment: If necessary, you can apply a layer of transparent paint to the surface of the flowerpot to increase the aesthetics. Notes 1. The ratio of cement to sand should be moderate. Too thin or too thick will affect the strength of the flowerpot.
2. When filling cement, ensure that the interior of the mold is smooth to avoid irregularities.
3. When decorative materials are inlaid on the cement surface, try to make them evenly distributed as much as possible to avoid affecting the appearance.
4. Wait for the cement to solidify enough time to avoid insufficient strength of the flowerpot.
