# Earth Week Challenge 2: Anything is a Pot🪴 Sustainability means…

Earth Week Challenge 2: Anything is a Pot🪴

Sustainability means seeing the potential in what we already have.

The mission: We turned an old candle jar into a new outer pot, but the sky is the limit! Whether you’re thrifting unique vessels or upcycling bins and boxes, your only limit is your imagination (and a little bit of durability).

Join the movement and show us your most creative upcycled pot! 💚

I also use mugs and old candle jars. This is my most recent not a pot potting.

Not so creative I reuse one I have though before buying more

Here's my dendrobium kingianum, trying to be a lithophyte as it would be in the wild, and an air plant, using a candlestick to be taller than my other plants. I also found a really pretty shot glass that I'll use for a tiny orchid once I find the right plant for it

So perfect for a spider plant!!

#### Dani replied on 2026-04-23

It was born of necessity. I did NOT KNOW “spider plants actually contain compounds that are mildly hallucinogenic to cats, so they often seek them out for a little "buzz" (similar to catnip).”  
And so they broke my last planter 😂
