Four clever indoor plant hacks to save money

Four clever indoor plant hacks to save money

Turning your space into an indoor jungle is the dream, though it doesn’t come cheap with some plants costing upwards of $300.

Then comes the task of finding the best way to display them in your home, from something simple like plant stands or propagating them in water to more tricky displays like hanging them from a chandelier. Either way, you're likely to spend more than you want to. 

If you’re running out of space to put new plants and money to buy them, these simple hacks posted to TikTok by Plant Savvy Co could be for you. 

Create your own pots 

While pretty plant pots can compliment any home, an affordable and stylish hack worth considering is to save your cans and use them as plant pots. All you have to do is drill drainage holes in the bottom and watch them grow!

Repot leaves

The humble cactus is one of the most popular indoor plants out there. Not only are they low-maintenance, interesting to look at but they’re also easy to grow.

Keep an eye out for any cactus leaves that have fallen off their mother plant. All you need to do is plant them and then you’ve got a brand-new cactus plant, cost-free.

Free plants are good plants:) #plants #planttips #tiktoktaughtme #cheap

Start a mini greenhouse 

This hack saves on money and is also good for the environment. Next time you buy a punnet of fruit, keep the plastic container, and turn it into a mini greenhouse for starting seeds. Spritz the soil once planted, close the lid, and store somewhere it will get sun.

Who said starting seeds had to be hard? #tiktoktaughtme #learnontiktok #plants #cheap #plantstuff #naturevibes

Make your own fertiliser 

Save on money by making your own natural fertilisers. The best choices are eggshells, banana peels and coffee grounds. All you need is a blender, its that easy.

Natural fertilizer for you:) #planttips #learnontiktok #planthacks #cheap
