Introduction

Plastic bottles, which are widely used, are ubiquitous waste products that have a damaging impact on the environment and human health. Their decomposition, spread over several centuries, leads to the pollution of soil, waterways and oceans. Faced with these harmful consequences, recycling plastic containers is emerging as a crucial solution. This approach facilitates the transformation of this waste into new products, such as articles of clothing, furniture, brooms, carpets, bags, containers, clotheslines, rafts and plant receptacles.) With this in mind, we've opted for up-cycling as a more environmentally-friendly approach. In fact, making flower pots from plastic bottles is a project that is both simple and accessible to everyone. All you need to do is use basic tools such as scissors (especially with children) or a cutter, as well as a dose of imagination, to help reduce the environmental footprint associated with this widespread plastic waste.

Matériaux

Bottle

Outils

1 pair of scissors and 1 knife

Étape 1 - Washing the bottle

Étape 2 - Cutting the bottle

Using a cutter or scissors, cut the plastic bottle to the desired height for the pot. You can adjust the height according to the size of the plant you wish to place in it.

Étape 3 - Decoration (additional)

If you like, you can decorate the plastic pot with paint, stickers or other decorative materials. Let your creativity run wild.

It's best not to paint it, so that you can see the roots and prevent the plant from suffocating.

Étape 4 - Drilling the cap

Étape 5 - Assembly

Assembler les deux parties et serrer avec le bouchon

Étape 6 - Remplissage avec la terre et mise en pot de la plante

Mettre un peu de terre puis poser la plante et ajouter de la terre de manière à ce que les racine soient complètement enfouis dans la terre.

Notes et références

-On peut observer les racines, ce qui nous permet de prévenir l'étouffement de la plante et d'envisager l'utilisation d'une bouteille plus grande pour assurer une croissance sereine de la plante.

- Le pot est très stable grâce à la répartition uniforme du poids.
