Sideways– Like a classic ship in a bottle, you can lay your bottle on its side and carefully plant up a layer of shorter plants and mosses. This method maximizes planting surface area and lets you capitalize more on the volume of the space. We are pretty biased towards stainless steel over plastic here at Elephant Box and one major reason is that its so much easier to keep clean. The chromium layer on the surface of stainless steel gives it a naturally anti-microbial resistance and creates a smooth surface with no micro-pores that harbour bacteria and mould. Ever noticed discolouration in a plastic water bottle or mould growing on the inside? Or if you put tomato soup in a plastic tub and it stains orange forever? The reason for this is that on a micro-level, the plastic surface is open to foreign bodies and particles. Which is how stuff can leach into plastic, and toxic chemicals can also leach out. Not an issue with stainless steel! However, even with stainless steel after time, minerals build up and…smells. This is when a more thorough clean is called for. Especially if, like we mentioned earlier, you like to switch your drinks up in your bottle - tea, flavoured waters, coffee etc. So, how often should I deep clean my water bottle?

Soda bottle crafts really make everything so easy, any time of year. It’s something my family always has on hand! Step 2 Upright – Standing your bottle up means you’ll typically use a tall feature plant or two to maximize the vertical space. Then you can use smaller accent plants and mosses to highlight them.The trident-shaped leaves of the Pteris ferns or the heart-shaped leaves of the Heart Leaf Fern both come on long thing stems. Or, a single leaf of the Crocodile Fern adds enough color and texture to command your attention. After the bottle is secured to the launch kit, pressurize the bottle. The launch kit has a valve for pumping up the bottle (like you would find on a bicycle). You could use a bicycle tire pump, but it takes a lot of work and the time between launches increases. If you use an air compressor, getting the pressure up to around 90 psi only takes about 10 seconds.
