Fast Drying Cement

Next, set the tree trunk at the centre of the pot and transfer about ½ of the cement mixture. Then, add the larger sized stones to add weight to the pot and also to secure the tree. Next, pour the remaining cement mixture. Keep some space at the top of the pot to put the smaller decorations and battery holder (for lightings). Leave it for a few hours until the cement dries up properly.
