🥣 How to Prepare Your Water Bottle Planter
1️⃣ Cut the Bottle:
Cut the top third of the bottle off (where it starts to taper). Keep the bottom part as your planter.
2️⃣ Make Drainage Holes (Optional):
If you want to use soil instead of just water, poke small holes in the bottom. But for water culture, you won’t need them.
3️⃣ Create a Net:
For best root support, cut slits around the bottle’s upper edge so you can fold them inward to hold the garlic in place — or place a mesh/netting over the opening.
🌿 How to Plant Garlic in Water
✔ Prepare Cloves:
Separate garlic cloves but leave the papery skins on. Don’t peel them completely.
✔ Set Up:
Place the garlic cloves with the pointed end up, resting on the folded edges or netting so only the root end touches the water — this prevents rot.
✔ Add Water:
