    Most Don’t Know This! Grow Mint from Cuttings in Hanging Plastic Bottles 🌿♻️

     

    Looking for a space-saving, eco-friendly way to grow mint at home? Try using hanging plastic bottles! This clever method recycles materials while giving you a constant supply of fresh, aromatic mint—perfect for teas, dishes, and natural remedies.

     

    🧂 What You’ll Need:

    • 2-liter plastic bottles

    • Mint cuttings (4–6" long)

    • Potting soil

    • Scissors, string, or wire

    • Glass of water for rooting

    • A sunny spot (4–6 hrs of indirect light)

     

    How to Grow Mint in Hanging Bottles:

    Clean & Cut the Bottles

    Cut bottles in half. Use the bottom as a planter. Poke drainage holes and holes near the top edge for hanging.

     

    Prep the Mint Cuttings

    Cut below a leaf node. Remove lower leaves. Place in water until roots grow 1–2 inches (about 1–2 weeks).

     

    Plant in Soil

    Fill bottle bottoms with potting soil. Insert rooted cuttings and press soil gently. Water thoroughly but don’t overwater.

     

    Hang Your Bottles

    Thread string or wire through holes and hang on a railing, hook, or trellis in a bright spot.

     

    Care Tips:

    • Water when the top inch of soil is dry

    • Pinch tips to encourage bushy growth

    • Fertilize every 4–6 weeks (lightly)

    • Watch for pests like aphids and treat with mild soap spray

     

    🌿 Why It Works:

    • Saves space with vertical gardening

    • Recycles old bottles

    • Keeps mint thriving all year

    • Easy to harvest for kitchen use

     

    Whether you're gardening on a balcony or just want to green up your space, this clever mint-growing hack is fun, efficient, and beginner-friendly.
