We all accumulate plastic plant pots over time, and most of them end up in the trash. But before you toss them, know that these humble containers can have a second life. With a little creativity, you can repurpose them in ways that are both practical and fun. Here are 10 brilliant hacks to give your old plastic pots a new purpose around the house.

1. Mini Herb Garden

Use small pots to grow herbs on your kitchen windowsill. Basil, mint, parsley, and thyme thrive in pots and are perfect for easy cooking access.

2. Drawer Organizers

Cut pots to size and use them to organize small items like paper clips, rubber bands, buttons, or jewelry. They’re especially handy in desk drawers.

3. Seed Starters

Plant seeds in old pots before transplanting them into your garden. They’re lightweight, reusable, and make it easy to manage seedlings.
