Step 4Paper sleeve (new update)
**Update**
This step has been made because I was told by two fellow instructableers that light is bad for roots, and that I should make another step with a paper sleeve. Thanks to mistic and hybridracers for this step.
I gave away my first plant so I just used a cup for the pics.
To make a paper sleve, use plain white paper.
Measure the height of the pot from the bottom to the top of the dirt, or slightly below.
Cut the paper longways so that one half of it's width is the same as the measurement you just made.
If the pot is really wide, then you need to cut another peice of paper to the same height, so it will reach all the way around the pot. If you are using two pieces of paper, tape them together now. wrap the paper around the pot and tape together, preferably with masking tape. Leave the bottom open for two reasons. The first is that no light can get in the bottom, so it is unnecessary. The second is that you will be able to see the bott om, so you will know if the plant needs water or a transplant, or something.
Done!
