Self Watering Plastic Bottle Planters
A great way to begin an herb garden or a simple way to brighten up a windowsill, these plastic bottle planters are simple, quick, and easy. This planter is also self-watering, perfect for a someone who is always on the go.
1. To begin this DIY project, first wash the bottle or bottles you have chosen, making sure everything is clean and free of any labels.
2. Second, carefully cut each bottle in half, as both portions will be utilized.
3. Next, poke, drill, or cut a few small holes in the bottle cap to allow for water and the cotton yarn to pass through.
4. To create the self watering portion, take 3 pieces of cotton yarn at about 6 inches each, and feed each piece through the holes created in your bottle cap. Tie a knot outside the bottle cap to keep it in place.
5. Plant your succulent, herb, or seeds in the inverted top portion of the bottle, making sure to distribute the 3 strings throughout the soil to promote even watering.
6. Fill the bottom portion of the bottle with 1 to 2 inches of water, just enough for the knot to dip into the water but not enough that the entire cap is submerged.
7. Place the inverted top portion with your new plant in the bottom portion filled with water.
8. That’s it! In a matter of minutes, you’ve created an earth-conscious way to spruce up your living space.
