A LITTLE PREPARATION

01
STEP 1 OF 8
Set the brown round plate down for the base of the flowerpot.
02
STEP 2 OF 8
Make the pot sides with two brown double-curved bricks turned across the plate. Cover them with the second brown round plate as the rim.
03
STEP 3 OF 8
Centre a green square in the pot as the base of the cactus.
04
STEP 4 OF 8
Centre the green long plate across the square. It reaches three stud columns beyond the square on each side and will carry the two arms.
05
STEP 5 OF 8
Add three green round tower bricks along the crossbar: one at each end and one in the middle. Leave one stud column between neighbouring towers.
06
STEP 6 OF 8
Raise the centre with another green round tower brick, and the left arm with a green square. Leave the right arm shorter.
07
STEP 7 OF 8
Finish both arms with green curves. Their flat rows sit on the towers and their rounded ends point backward, one row beyond the stems.
08
STEP 8 OF 8
Cap the tall centre with one more green curve, pointing backward in the same way.
