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!

    I like this very much. Some day I hope I gain the confidence to have a plant under my care without dying.

    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!

    How do you get the rootball out if you want to replant?

      You probably don’t let it go so long that it becomes a ball.

      It might look a bit tight, but it comes out without a fight at this point. I should probably get it planted soon!

    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.
