someone explain how to make flower pots on minecraft?

place the pot, then right click it with the plant. flowers, saplings, mushrooms, cactus, bamboo, ferns all go in. nothing grows in a pot though, so a sapling in one is just decoration.

3 bricks in a V shape, one in each side slot of the middle row and one bottom middle. Bricks not brick blocks, you smelt clay balls to get them.
