In recent days, plastic becaming a danger for the environmental health. As the plastic waste impact continues to grow, the search for sustainable alternatives in agriculture has become increasingly important and urgent. Our project investigates the use of mycelium, a fungal material, in the creation of biodegradable plant pots. Mycelium, a root-like structure of fungi has a natural growth properties. When it’s combined with other organic waste such as sawdust, straw and rice husk it allow the mycellium to form a durable, eco-friendly pot that decomposes naturally over time. A key focus of this research is the water retention capabilities of mycelium pots, as moisture regulation is crucial for plant health. Busy families tend to forget and no time to care of their favourite plant in house. Our mycellium pot can be the life saver for this uncare plants where it can help to retain the moist of the plant for longer period compare to plastic or even ceramic pots. Our project evaluates how mycelium pots compare to traditional plastic/ceramic pots in terms of water retention, absorption, and plant growth. Results indicate that mycelium pots not only retain moisture effectively but also promote healthier plant growth by providing a more breathable and organic growing environment. This research highlights the potential for mycelium-based pots to be a sustainable and efficient alternative to plastic, offering both environmental and functional benefits for modern gardening practices.
