This is just a reminder that instead of using plastic trays under terracotta or plastic nursery pots, you can use thrifted glass dishes! These are often cheap and decorative ones like this are totally my style. There are also more simple options but either way they’re so much prettier than the plastic ones, plus they’re better for the environment :)
