Am I the only one whoâs been told⊠âYouâre such a pack rat. Just get rid of it!â From nipple lamps to ceiling fans, Iâve had to replace a few in 16 yrs in a home. The mechanics of those items was recycled with other electronics, never trash, and the glass bowls, well they stayed with me. Those glass bowls would appear whenever I needed to put out pretzels or chips (with appropriate napkins lining the the bowls) for others to nosh on, As I got older less and less people came around, and with the time of downsizing knocking at my door, I began to discard these glass bowl, former electrical, items. One day I saw many tiny succulents withering away in my residence and thought âWhat should I do? Chuck them or go through the process of finding pots, etc.? And then I remembered Planta always asks pot type. Glass is NOT a No No for plants. Glass can be used but it must contain drainage holes, draining soil needs to be used, and much less watering need to occur. Well these glass bowls: - have a large hole in the bottom - are shaped such that when watered all excess water will run to that hole - are typically shallow for succulents - and look good too So if youâve been told youâre a pack rat for saving pieces of stuff like these glass bowls, well then tell them to sit on a prickly pear pad.
