Introduction
We all love growing plants and flowers in the spring, but it can be disheartening when your plants are small or struggling. Why not give your home a warm and inviting feel by growing your plants in regular household items? Here I will share some of my favorite ideas for giving new life to old things.
Growing in clear plastic cups
If you are all about minimalism, then these clear plastic cups are for you! They’re cheap, light and easy to store. Simply use a cup with a drainage hole in the bottom (you can buy them at any home improvement store).
Plastic cups come in different sizes, so choose one that works for your specific plant. The cups can be moved around easily without damaging anything and they won’t stain or retain dirt like traditional clay pots do. If you have more than one plant growing at once, cut the cup down into smaller sections using scissors—this will also help regulate water flow when watering your plants.
Growing in eggshells
Eggshells are a great way to grow plants in and they’re eco-friendly too.
When you’re starting out with seedlings, eggshells make a great little starter pot. When the roots begin to poke through the bottom of the shell, it’s time to transplant your seedling into a larger container and eventually into soil.
If you’re growing root vegetables like carrots or radishes, eggshells can be used as planting pots by filling them with compost and adding some soil at the top.
The same goes for herbs such as rosemary or thyme – simply add compost, plant your herb seedlings in it and keep watering regularly so that they can get enough nutrients from their surroundings until they start growing bigger!
Cuttings can also be grown using eggshells; simply cut off part of an eggshell and drill holes on either side so that water doesn’t leak out easily when watering them daily (you could also drill drainage holes if desired).
Growing in a birdcage
As the name implies, you need a birdcage to start with. The most important thing to know about birdcages is that they come in all sizes and styles. The next thing you will need is a tray where your plant will sit on top of the cage.
A tray is important because it allows excess water to drain out so that your plant doesn’t drown!
Once you have these two things, all you need are: soil mix; plants (or seeds); water source; light source. To keep things simple we recommend buying a pre-mixed potting mix from your local garden centre or grocery store because this will ensure that everything has been mixed well together so there’s no chance of any hard pieces being left behind after watering! Then just fill up each section with some potting mix and place one seed into each compartment before covering it lightly with more mix so it doesn’t fall out when watering later on down the line! If growing from seedlings instead then make sure not too much soil fills up inside them otherwise they won’t be able to breathe properly – instead try using smaller trays so there’s less room available for roots to grow underneath them instead.”
With these easy ideas you can make plant pots out of regular household items!
Plant pots are an essential part of every plant owner’s life. They provide many benefits, including:
- They help to keep the soil moist and aerated
- They can make your plants look more attractive, which will brighten up any room!
But if you don’t have the perfect planter for your plant, it can be difficult to find one that fits its needs perfectly. Don’t worry—with these easy ideas you can make plant pots out of regular household items!
Conclusion
These are just a few of the great homemade plant pots you can create for your next gardening project. We hope that we’ve given you some inspiration to start experimenting with your own household items!
