How can anybody stay away from something like gardening? I mean, is not it insanely therapeutic and creates a fascinating human-to-nature connection? However, gardening does have various types, and it comes with its own ways of eccentric generosity and aesthetics.

One such aesthetic design of gardening is bottle gardening. Bottle gardens, also known as terrariums, are gaining popularity, and they are simple to construct.

Combining small plants that thrive in similar growing conditions – normally damp shade or drought – is the trick. A bottle garden can be planted in almost any glass jar, while closed ones are better for moisture-loving plants and open ones are best for plants that are used to drier conditions.

Do not panic if you cannot find what we used; look for something similar in charity shops, garden centers, your kitchen cupboard, or on the internet.

Basics

Bottle gardens more than aesthetics is just another alternative to make your small space a garden and create as many plants as you can. This way what happens is that the entire idea of gardening took a huge turn when the bottle garden idea came up with its exceptional efficiency and beauty.

Steps To Create a Bottle Garden

Step 1: Fill the bottom of the bottle with 5cm of horticultural grit to aid drainage. Fill the bottle with houseplant compost until it is around a third full, breaking up any lumps with your hands. Choose plants with lush foliage that can withstand low light and humidity. 

Step 2: Place the plants one by one, as if they were in a pot, and firm the compost around them. Fill in any gaps between plants with moss

Step 3: The curved sides of the bottle will prevent a lot of evaporation, so water sparingly down the sides. Make sure the compost does not dry out or get waterlogged. Place in a bright, out-of-the-way place.
