Looking for a quick, affordable way to elevate your curb appeal? One of the easiest front porch upgrades you can do under 30 minutes: add a beautiful potted plant. Whether you're refreshing your porch for the season or just want a touch of green, this DIY project makes a big impact, and Digz has the garden tools you need to get it done right.
Inspired by this cozy front porch refresh, we're breaking down how to plant your own statement pot for a simple, stylish porch upgrade.
What You'll Need:
- A large outdoor planter or pot
- Potting soil
- Plants of your choice (we love a mix of height and texture)
- Digz Gardening Gloves
- Digz Garden Trowel
Step 1: Pick the Perfect Spot
Choose a visible area on your porch, by the front door, near the steps, or near an entryway. Make sure the space gets the right amount of sunlight based on your plant selections.
Step 2: Put on Your Digz Gloves
Before you start digging in, slip on your Digz Gardening Gloves. They're not only cute, but super functional. Designed to protect your hands while giving you the flexibility to plant, dig, and arrange with ease.
Step 3: Prep Your Pot
Using the Digz Garden Trowel, add a layer of fresh potting soil to your planter. The trowel's narrow design makes it easy to scoop and spread the soil exactly where you need it.
Step 4: Arrange Your Plants
Use the "thriller, filler, spiller" method.
- Thriller: A tall plant for height (like ornamental grass or a spike)
- Filler: Medium-height flowers or foliage to fill the center
- Spiller: Trailing plants that spill over the sides (like ivy)
Use your trowel to create planting holes and nestle each plant in, gently patting down the soil around the roots.
Step 5: Water & Style
Give your newly planted arrangements a deep watering and wipe down the pot for a polished look. Pair it with a cozy doormat, lantern, or seasonal wreath to complete your front door decor refresh.
