Medium: Recycled planters from 2l Coke plastic bottles

I love gardening and am an avid recycler but this time I wanted to upcycle my rubbish into something useful. Due to my fascination for all living things and horticulture, IBK produced three small planters for succulent cuttings taken from our front garden. We have decided to get rid of the plant because it is harmful for dogs and its overgrown mass spreading along the ground seems to get in the way of their daily business. However I wanted to save a trimming for the sappy cactus would be happy to grow out of reach high up on the wall and from past experience they seem to take quickly to a new pot. I used 2l Coca Cola plastic bottles which were then cut in half, using the bottom half to hold the plant and the upper half now fitted on the base to redirect all water in a stream-like fashion to more upcycled pots below which I will make once I have three empty 5l water bottles.
