She has been growing flowers for 10 years and has never bought a flower pot. With a few simple tricks, she can turn waste into potted plants!

Use abandoned fish tank as flower pot

Huahua bought several small fish at the flower and bird market some time ago, but they died after just a few times of keeping them. Now she has accumulated quite a few small fish tanks at home. One day Huahua suddenly had an idea: could a small fish tank be used as a flower pot?

Steps:

1. In order to allow the fish tank and flower pot to be water-permeable and breathable, you need to use tools to chisel a few small holes at the bottom of the fish tank. (Dear flower lovers, please pay attention to safety when operating)

2. Place a layer of large particles such as expanded clay at the bottom of the fish tank, then add nutrient soil on top of the large particles, and then transplant the flowers you want to plant directly into the flowerpot. A transparent small fish tank is very beautiful whether it is used to grow succulents or other flowers!

3. In addition, you can also use a small fish tank without holes as a hydroponic bottle. Whether it is hydroponic white calla lilies or ivy, they are all very beautiful!

Tin can flower pot

In our daily lives, we always come into contact with various bottles and jars, the most common ones are cans and paint cans. Don’t throw away these jars, they make great flower pots!

Steps:

1. Wash the empty cans and dry them. Make at least 4 holes in the bottom and 2 holes on the sides.

2. Use acrylic to paint, repaint it with your favorite color, then pass the wire through the two holes on the side as handles, and plant small plants.

Use discarded light bulbs as flower pots

Although many families have started using energy-saving lamps, the previous types of light bulbs are still active in our lives and have not been eliminated. Don’t throw away those broken light bulbs, they can be used as flower pots and look very nice!

Steps:

1. Use pliers to unscrew the butt part of the bulb, and then take out the filament and other parts in the bulb.

2. Wrap the threaded part of the bulb with wire several times, then pour soil into the bulb and plant the plant in it. In this way, a bulb flowerpot is ready.

Egg shell flower pot

Now that the weather is getting cooler, it’s time to sow seeds again, but what should I do if I don’t have a seedling box at home? Huahua will teach you a method to sow seeds directly with egg shells, saving the trouble of seedling boxes and flower pots!

Steps:

1. First crack the egg and make a small hole at one end, take out the egg white and yolk, and then wash them. If you are worried about insufficient cleaning and disinfection, you can also boil it in hot water in a pot for 3-5 minutes for thorough disinfection.

2. Take out the egg shells and dry them. Make a small hole at the bottom to let water in. Don't make the hole too big, otherwise the egg will easily break. Then pour the nutrient soil into the flowerpot and bury the seeds.

3. Water the soil regularly and the seeds will germinate soon. Eggshells contain some nutrients and can also provide the needs of flowers and plants. It’s really killing two birds with one stone!
