Bottle gardens make a lovely decorative
addition to your houseplant collection,
and are very easy to create and maintain.
Depending on the size of your bottle, you
can plant either 3 or 5 plants.

Step
1 |
|
|
|
Some plants are tall growing, and some are
spreading, so you put the tall ones at the
back, or in the middle, and the lower-growing
ones at the front, or around the outside.
You will need :
A glass bottle with a wide neck - big enough
to fit your hand inside.
Fine gravel - alpine mix, or something similar
Houseplant compost
Miniature plants - they can be bought from
most garden centres

Step 3 |
|
Line the bottom of your bottle with gravel,
about 2". This helps to create drainage.
|
|
Put about 2-3" of compost on top, spreading
evenly.
