I have waited for years to make one of these. I started two weeks ago. I mixed one part each: Portland cement, perlite, and peat moss. I added red cement coloring to the mix and I used a bedpan for a mold. When I took it out the second day like the directions said to smooth out the edges I broke it in half. It was still soggy so I added water and smooshed it all back together and put it back in the black plastic bag to wait. Patiently I waited two weeks before opening it. I have peeked once and picked it up to feel the weight. This morning my two week waiting period is over. I took it out of the bag, it is still together and I slowly drilled two holes through the bottom and planted the succulents in it that have been healing for several days. It is so cute! Now, I plan to make a bigger one and more!
