The same plant (right-hand photo) converted to expanded clay pebble hydroculture. I probably haven’t heard all of the lame reasons for growing houseplants in clay or opaque plastic pots but I’ve heard a lot of them over the years. Pretzel logic and ignorance know no bounds.
By now, you likely know that I advocate repurposed (recycled) soda/pop bottle planters as clearly (pun intended) the best way to grow houseplants. They are also the best plant science learning aid that I know of.
Recycled socks make excellent soda bottle SIP covers ("cloth cachepots"). This one year old Ficus benjamina cost next to nothing. The plant was propagated from cuttings rooted in the same planter about one year ago. The soda bottle SIPs are free and you help the environment. The polished pebbles cost just pennies.
There are single socks and socks with holes just waiting for a higher calling in life. This is it! It's their big chance! You can help them.
Incidentally, the Ficus is the same houseplant shown in this prior post.

Nice post. Good job! ;-) I just walked home from a doctor appointment and picked up a sock on the sidewalk. If anyone saw me they must have thought I was having really bad times. Once it's washed it will have a better life living in the light while decorating a soda bottle SIP. It's a heck of a lot better life than living inside a shoe.
I used a marker to draw a line on the soda bottle to use as a guide when I cut it with scissors. The two parts that I was left with would be the cup and the reservoir.
