Bottle Gardens

Product Information

Bottle gardens make excellent indoor focal points, especially when planted with colorful foliage and different textures. Bottle gardens work because their sealed space creates an entirely self-sufficient ecosystem in which plants can survive by using photosynthesis to recycle nutrients. Mainly used in the classic upright bottle gardens, we’re looking for one or two foliage plants that can occupy the center of the bottle. For those up to the task, next, we have some common bottles that translate well to bottle terrariums. This method maximizes planting surface area and lets you capitalize more on the volume of the space.
