Bottle Gardens

Product Information

Strictly's Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola fuel romance rumours as they pose for cosy photoshoot with fans saying they are a 'match made in heaven' Of course, plants are key. Use denominations of odd numbers, which are easier on the eye – we used five. Cacti and succulents are the ideal choices. You can use upright sansevieria to create height, while aloe vera, cacti, echeveria, sempervivum and Crassula ovata (money plant) are all suitable to grow in a bottle. 2. Create good drainage Another inventive bottle garden concept is to utilise only half of a plastic bottle. Cut an empty Coke bottle in half and put a beautiful green plant on each side. You may use a rope to suspend these pots in a row to give your landscape a spectacular makeover. Or you might try and create these cute shape planters out of them.

To make a miniature greenhouse, use the top of the bottle to make a dome that will fit over the cup. Use the cap to help manage heat and moisture. Remove it on hot days to avoid overheating the plants. Replace the cap at night to keep heat and moisture in. Why invest in a terrarium? They’re incredibly low-maintenance – once you’ve planted them up, you should only have to water them a couple of times per year, and some enclosed domes can be left indefinitely. Once considered you need to think about their ability to live with one another in a cohesive way. Your chosen plants need to be reasonably slow growing so not to take over the others, they will all need similar light and water requirements. For example you don't want a traditional type of cactus mixed with a moisture loving Peace Lily. If you did this, the cactus would demand drier conditions than the Peace Lilly could live with and inevitably one of them will die as their needs cannot be balanced.

Then close the jar and place it in a bright but not sunny place (ideally a north or east window). Bottle garden plants require porous soil. This both reduces rot and allows air to get to the roots. You can improve your soil’s drainage by adding one inch (2.5 cm.) of pea gravel to the bottom of the bottle and adding a small layer of horticultural charcoal on top. The charcoal reduces any sour smells created from decomposition.
