Mums + Recycled Flower Pots

Remember my trip last week at Lim Ket Kai Mall, Plants and Flowers Garden Display Area wherein I bought flowering plants like Lilium Stargazers, Gerberas and Mums? So far after a week, they are still alive and flourishing especially the Mums. 

I actually bought 4 different colors of mums at P75.00 ($1.75) per pot. There were a lot of colors available for sale but I chose only four, the most I can afford and these were;

of Orange or Rust and Yellow Shade

Bright Yellow 

Lilac/Lavender Shade

and Red Maroon 

Hubby and I replanted them in another container. Instead of buying plastic pots we decided to recycle empty plastic water bottles. We have a lot of them at home because these were the used purified drinking water  bottles that our son had consumed.
 

Hubby cut the lower portion of the bottle (above the first ring) using scissors then bored holes at the bottom.

This is how the empty recycled pot looks like...


Recycled pot with garden soil...


 And finally the replanted mums in the recycled plastic pots.


Instead of throwing them away, these empty bottles were put into good use.
