Just sharing my experience.....i tried metal/Plastic and wood containers...and i found them to be quite difficult because of drainage issue. Require very careful watering. Especially containers with flat bases. As it will require quite a few drainage holes.....unless the container shape is pot like(water directed towards the single drainage hole) i would not recommend these.

Maybe suitable for plants which like wet feet

Rightly said Farhan bhai, the plastic containers even if we put a light airy or sandy medium retains water and can lead to rotting of the plant roots, although for water loving plants like water lily etc, plastic containers can mean less maintenance and watering intervals.

@farhan sb liked your creativity.In the first pic are they juice disposable cups and how are they tied?could you get the complete pic? and the wooden box ....if i am not wrong are these ammo boxes?? Once used these types of ammo boxes to grow flower.....Imagine a box full of ammo OR a box full of flowers !

These are 1 litre ice cream tubs......tied with small rope

Yes these are ammo boxes......

Another DIY idea
Get a empty Liter Pet bottle preferably the Green one.Cut 4 inches from the bottom and you will be left with the funnel shaped upper portion.Get some holes with a nail in the bottle head.Your flowering pot is ready !
Hang it on wall or on a tree and plant some hanging plants
