Yogurt box homemade cute small flower pot

Step 1

After drinking the yogurt box, tear off the outer film covering it and clean the inside. The box in the picture is not a new one. If it were new, it would be more beautiful than this one. The small yogurt box I have been using has dirt on it because it has been used for a while. It feels very useful.

Step 2

Use nails or sharp objects to drill a few small holes at the bottom. When drilling, place the opening flat on the ground. This makes the operation easier and also makes it easier to apply force. If there are holes at the bottom, it can ensure that the plants have good water permeability and avoid water accumulation.

Step 3

Fill the soil. Since the yogurt box is small, you can choose nutrient-rich leaf mold and add a small amount of coarse sand or vermiculite to increase air permeability.

Step 4

Once everything is ready, you can play freely. You can plant a spider plant seedling, or sow some seeds. I took cuttings of a hydrangea and it grew roots after half a month. New leaves emerged. Looks pretty good. However, the hydrangea will definitely not get enough nutrition if it lives in it temporarily and grows, so you can transplant it to a larger pot when the time comes.

Step 5

In fact, small flower pots, especially yogurt boxes, are more suitable for growing small plants such as succulents that do not require frequent fertilization. Because stone lotus is not afraid of the sun or rain, it is most suitable to plant it inside. Comes with a small white box. It really has a fresh taste.

Another advantage of yogurt boxes is that they can be used for a long time. I have used this one for a year. It has been placed outside in the wind and sun, and it has not deformed or damaged. It is much more convenient to use and will not break if you drop it, rather than spending a ton of postage on those overpriced little flower pots that don’t even have holes.

As long as you pay attention, you will find that many things in life seem useless but can actually come in handy. It is like using a small flowerpot made from an old lunch box, plants can still grow lushly. Although we cannot have the living environment of our dreams, we can make our home warm and comfortable. The balcony with small green plants has a more natural feel and is also a space for us to relax our minds.
