You spend so much money on growing flowers, but he can solve the problem with just a plastic bottle

Make a funnel

As shown in the picture below, cut off the top of the plastic bottle and trim the cut with scissors to make a homemade free funnel! The soy sauce bottle on the right has two outlets, making it more convenient to use.

Make a water scoop

Cut off the bottle body and stick a discarded syringe on it, and you will have a simple scoop, and a scoop that will not rust. Of course, if you don't have a syringe at home, you can use something else with a long handle instead.

Make a long-handled scoop

Put the discarded metal handle of the window cleaner or the telescopic and steerable metal handle of the mop onto the plastic watering can and it will become a long-handled watering can, making watering more convenient and labor-saving.

Making flower shovel

Cut off the bottom of an unused beverage bottle, trim the edges into an arc shape, and then put a piece of discarded plastic tube on the bottle mouth (for easy holding), and you will have a shovel for shoveling soil. After using it for a period of time, the shovel head will no longer be smooth and you can cut it off a little more.

Filters

Tie a knot on the discarded wine bottle net and pull the knotted end out from the funnel outlet, which is the place marked with a red line in the picture below. Fix the upper part and it will become a filter. Use it to filter environmentally friendly enzymes to get twice the result with half the effort.

Drain cover

Take a piece of beverage bottle, it doesn’t matter how long it is, and drill some small holes in it with a soldering iron (or fire chopsticks). It will become a simple drain cover. When planting flowers, turn it upside down on the water outlet of the flowerpot, and then fill it with soil.

This is equivalent to separating a ventilated area at the bottom of the flower pot, and excess water can seep out from the small holes, which can effectively prevent water accumulation in the pot soil.

Make flower pots

Cleaning

Clean the discarded beverage bottles. Make sure to clean them thoroughly. If you don't clean them thoroughly, the sweetness in the beverage will attract small insects.

Cut

First draw a line in the middle of the beverage bottle to determine where you want to cut it, and then cut along the drawn line. Just make a small hole in the middle of the bottle cap and nail it in. It doesn't require any technical skills.

Rope Threading

Pass the cotton string through the bottle cap and tie a few knots inside the bottle cap to ensure that the bottle cap cannot be pulled off from the other end.

Tighten

Screw on the bottle cap and put it on the other half of the drink bottle.

Planting

Put a small amount of water in a beverage bottle and see if it can flow down slowly and naturally. Add soil to the beverage bottle, plant a potted plant, and water it thoroughly. In the future, when the soil dries up, it will automatically absorb water from the bottom. Just check that there is water in the beverage bottle below. When it dries up, add water. It is very convenient.

Do you still have plastic bottles at home?

Don’t throw it away next time!
