With a few materials and a little time, you can make a planter box yourself with artificial silk plants provided by Commercial Silk Int’l.
Products Used
Materials Needed
- Planter Box
- Rock
- Sphagnum moss, mulch or bark chips
- Spray foam
- Glue gun or styrofoam adhesive
Instructions
- Add a two-inch layer of rock to add ballast
- Dispense foam. Do not fill to the top of the planter box. The foam will rise and expand on its own.

- Use a screwdriver to make a small guiding hole in the foam/mulch for each silk plant to be planted.
- Using the glue gun, quickly spread glue onto one plant.
- Press one plant into a hole, thus gluing it into the foam. Step and repeat.
- Shape plants for a groomed appearance.
If you will be making a planter box or hanging planter for interior use, consider a basket with colorful artificial Bougainvillea flowers.
