Usha di, you have keen eye!!! Yes, the space crunch leads one to interesting-ness and innovation.:)
More than the load it was space crunch which led me to use & recycle materials around me. Only some 7-8 months ago I would settle for nothing less than good old terracotta pots but now I happily use anything and everything which fits into my very narrow space. 1: can one keep these plants in plastic bags for long? When I look at my happy plants I am forced to say YES. I now worry about what mix I put into the plastic bag (bottle/jar) rather than in what I am putting my plant. For me soil+coco peat+ vermi compost equal parts work wonders. And I am finicky about drainage and watering my plants. Never overwater! For me the question now is how long the plastic bags would last. I just had first casualty in 7-8 months, a bird pecked a hole in my pippali’s thick bag and without much disturbing the roots I put the plant back in a new one! 2: what is that long tall almost translucent planter in the back right side? ok that is just a 2 liter bottle cut from bottom, yes for roots. And yes I have few other plants in 3-4 plastic bags put together as a single pot, just the way you thought! This way not only I am able to use my narrow space but able use it vertically too by hanging the plants. Happy ‘small balcony’ gardening! Thanks & regards.
