Flower pots on windowsills are a beautiful decoration, and not only that, plants improve the indoor climate and are therefore also very useful. But unfortunately, it can happen that flower pots scratch the windowsill; here we have a trick so that this no longer happens:

Flower pots no longer scratch the windowsill

To protect the windowsill or tiles from scratches from the flower pots, 3 or 4 slices of natural cork can be attached to the bottom of the pots with glue. To do this, cut thin slices from a cork with a sharp knife, glue them to the pot, and let them dry well.

If you don't want to do any DIY here, you can also use ready-made foam adhesive pads from the hardware store.
