Mini Greenhouse

You can create a mini greenhouse to start your plants using empty soda bottles. It's best to use green soda bottles if available. If you only have clear soda bottles, make sure to punch some extra holes in them to prevent overheating and damaging your plants.

  • Cut the bottom off a 2 L (67 fl oz) plastic soda bottle.
  • Remove the label and the cap.
  • Place the bottle right side up over your seedling and push it far enough into the soil to hold it upright.
  • Once your plants have grown tall enough to touch the top of the inside of the bottle, carefully remove the bottle.
  • Don't let the plant grow through the top, as you won't be able to remove the bottle, and your plant will not thrive.
