These DIY Toilet Paper Roll Seedling pots will change the way you garden forever! I have been doing this for years only recently I learned that this isn’t common knowledge for everyone. So today I thought I would teach you how to make these DIY Toilet roll Seedling Pots. These are so quick and easy to make and also they are biodegradable. This means when the seedlings are ready to transfer you can leave them in the toilet tube pot and plant them directly into the ground! If that doesn’t convince you to make these, I don’t know what will!

How to make DIY Toilet Roll Seedling Pots

Okay, let’s start with this tutorial that will change the way you garden forever.

What you need:

Toilet paper rolls/tubes

Steps

1. Cut 4 evenly spaced cuts(1/2 inch) around the bottom of the toilet tube.
2. Moving Clockwise fold the cut pieces down tucking the side ( closest to you ) of the next one under the previous one. Just like how you would fold a box top
3. Repeat until it’s boxed
4. Repeat until all of your tubes are boxed.
5. If it’s done correctly the seedling pot should stand by itself

What about Drainage?

These actually have very good drainage, since we aren’t taping the bottom, the gaps in the boxed bottom let the water out gradually. See below me planting and watering the seeds in these toilet paper roll seedling pots.
