Discarded soda bottles can be turned into upside down hanging basins and herbaceous flowers can be planted directly.

What would you do if you found a discarded soda bottle? It is usually thrown into the trash can, it can also become a very practical hanging basin, the following idea is even more powerful, it can turn the soda bottle upside down to cultivate plants, that is, plant plants under and above the soda bottle to make the plant grow upside down.

Most plants will have a certain phototaxis, which will grow on the sunny side. If the plants are picked upside down and cultured, the plants will still grow upside down. Don't worry that it will die.

Step one, prepare the soda bottle.

First of all, prepare some clean soda bottles, clean them, cut them properly, cut off about three centimeters at the bottom of the bottle, and prepare some drilling tools and some hanging ropes.

The second step is to drill holes and set up slings.

The next step is to drill holes at the bottom of the soda bottle, drill four uniform holes around the outer edge, and then string the hemp rope in.

Before drilling, you can put on some tape so that you can drill the hole better.

Step 3: insert aluminum foil

You can cut off a piece of aluminum foil, that is, tin foil, roll it into a cylinder, and then put the aluminum foil into the bottle and spread it evenly.

The function of aluminum foil is to prevent the soil from drying. Usually the plants we cultivate with soda bottles grow a layer of green algae on the surface of the vase, which also looks very ugly, which can also increase the appearance. Putting aluminum foil also helps keep plant roots warm and avoid freezing in winter.

The fourth step is to cultivate plants

Next, you need to choose some plants that are suitable for cultivation. If you choose to grow on the windowsill, it is best to choose herbs that are easy to grow, such as common herbs such as basil, mint, parsley, parsley, thyme and rosemary.

You can also cultivate some lettuce, virgin fruits and colorful peppers that are easy to grow. You can directly prepare the seedlings of the plant, do not choose to sow and cultivate, then the cultivation is likely to fail.

Step five, add soil.

Next, plant the seedlings directly at the top and bottom of the soda bottle, and slowly add the soil. In order to avoid the seedlings planted at the top of the bottle from falling directly, you should prepare a small screen and spread it directly on the mouth of the soda bottle. After that, the root system of the plant seedlings is stuffed in, and finally filled with soil, so that the soda bottle can be hung upside down and will not let the soil or seedlings fall.

The sixth step is hanging cultivation

Just after the plant is watered, dry it and hang it in a ventilated and transparent position, with appropriate scattered light every day, and pay attention to avoid being kept in an airtight environment or without light.

If you cultivate drought-tolerant plants such as thyme and rosemary, you don't need to water frequently until the soil is dry. If you grow mint or basil, these foods that require more water, you need to keep the soil moist.

In the process of plant growth, it is necessary to pinch the top regularly to promote the continuous branching of plants and make the hanging basin plants grow more exuberantly.
