Pictured: three glass bottles in a row. On the left, it’s a full bottle of soy sauce. In the middle, it’s an empty bottle with the label removed. On the right, it’s another empty bottle with a rooted pothos cutting in it.
My workplace provides snacks and some condiments for folks. When the soy sauce runs out, I do my best to snag the bottle. It looks like it ought to have a potion in it. A plant is the next best thing!
And it gives your plants a nice rich flavor
I like this very much. Some day I hope I gain the confidence to have a plant under my care without dying.
Just start with a pothos like in the picture.
It’s true, pothos is quite friendly! That or a zz plant would be a great place to start. You got this, @can@sh.itjust.works
Yep, just note they are toxic to cats (and probably some other less awesome pets) if ingested.
Ah, that rules them out then :/
It looks pretty awesome. But I do wonder why your workplace doesn’t just refill the bottle instead of disposing of it and buying a new one. Props for the up-cycling though!
I have a coriander/cilantro plant that is a nuisance to prop up. It’s potted in dirt, so I guess a bottle would be hard to transplant into. I guess i would need a bottle cutter to cut the bottom-most part off.
Hey thank you for this. My OH loves growing things from seeds she gets in stuff from supermarkets.
How do you get the rootball out if you want to replant?
It might look a bit tight, but it comes out without a fight at this point. I should probably get it planted soon!
You probably don’t let it go so long that it becomes a ball.
