Creative Ways to Display Plants Using Repurposed Containers

Plants not only add a touch of nature to your living space but also have numerous benefits for your health and well-being. If you're looking for unique ways to display your plants, why not consider repurposing containers you already have lying around? Here are some creative ideas to inspire you:

1. Mason Jars

Repurpose old mason jars by turning them into charming planters. Hang them with twine for a rustic look or place them on a windowsill to catch the sunlight. Mason jars are perfect for small succulents or herbs.
