We had to trim our pothos plant. Rather than compost the trimmings, Carol decided to make a home for them in the shower. She got me to cut a big round hole in the side of a plastic soda water bottle using my pocket knife; then she got me to drill two holes at the top of the bottle so we could hang it; I drilled those two holes using the awl in my pocket knife. She attached the bottle to the shower rod using a big twist tie left over from something, added some water, and put the pothos cuttings through the big round hole.
Over the next few days, the pothos cuttings twisted towards the light, and their butt ends pulled out of the water. So I drilled two small holes about an inch back of the big round hole on either side, above the water level, and threaded a piece of straight brass wire through; the wire keeps the pothos cuttings aimed down at the water.
Our shower planter has been up for a month now. Here’s what it looks like:
Lovely!
Love it!
I think if I made a smaller opening the cutting wouldn’t have leaned out of the water so much. I’ll make another one.
Also, I don’t think a twist-tie is needed; twine, shoelace, or string will do. I was too lazy to find some.
