Sea Moss Gel Jar Planter: Reduce, Reuse, and Save the Earth

An excellent approach to protecting the environment and giving objects such as plastic a second life is upcycling. Upcycling is a simple craft that saves money and the environment by reducing the waste sent to landfills. This DIY for a recycled greenhouse Sea Moss gel jar planter will make your family happy, breathe new life into your house, and benefit the environment.

Materials

It’s a good idea to gather all of your supplies before beginning this DIY!

  • Sea Moss gel container
  • Rich topsoil
  • Seeds of your choice 
  • A spray bottle of water 
  • Sharp scissors or a crafting knife
  • Different colors of markers or colorful stickers

Instructions

To build a greenhouse, adhere to these simple steps:

Once the container is clean, carefully cut drainage holes around the base of the container’s bottom, about half an inch wide (the size of a pencil, for example). Depending on the size of your container, there will be a range of holes.

  • Thoroughly wash the container.
  • Cut four drainage holes around the base’s bottom using a cutting tool.
  • Make two holes at the top of the jar, facing opposite directions.
  • To create a handle on the planter, get a rope and tuck each end into the holes.
  • Design the outer surface of the jar with markers or cut and paste shapes and patterns to beautify it.
  • Carefully fill the cover ring with loose soil by adding it to the jar’s base.
  • Each seed package has a different set of instructions for planting, so pay attention to them.
  • Depending on your intended accomplishment, you may either hang the planter on the wall or set it on a surface.
  • You may sprinkle water on the soil every other day and watch your new plant come to life. 
  • Spray water on the soil using the spray bottle.
  • Once the leaves crowd the jar and feel cramped, you may move the extra plant into a different container with drainage.

This DIY jar planter will be a terrific idea for beginners who want to start gardening but do not have a place. Even though you’ve seen a lot of jar gardens, thoughtful crafts never grow old, and you still get a kick out of making them. 

Happy gardening!
