Bottle garden is a glass or transparent plastic vessel inside which planted plants. Air access to the tank is limited or completely blocked, resulting in a humid climate favorable for the cultivation of tender and capricious plants that can hardly endure harsh room conditions.

Everyone who saw this vegetable world, which is formed in a confined space with constant humidity, temperature and lighting, a world ideal for heated premises, I want to make myself such a miracle. This is quite real!

A closed plant world is created in the terrarium. The terrarium is a small glass container, aquariums of various shapes can be used as terrariums - from round to ordinary rectangular, large bottles, unusual glass jars or even large glass glass salads covered with glass.

Plants that need very moist air, in our apartments is not easy. Optimum conditions for them can be achieved by putting them in a pot-bellied bottle of transparent glass, here they will inherit the microclimate inherent in them from birth. For the device of the kindergarten in the bottle, the following is important:

Do not take flowering plants: they do not look beautiful for long, and, as soon as they blossom, they should be removed immediately. Often, the bottle can not be opened - the entire system and functions provided that the neck is tight and permanently closed.

The neck of the bottle should be narrow enough that it can be clogged, but at the same time so wide that you can work inside the bottle.

	In order to arrange a garden in a bottle, you need to independently invent several tools: A) a spoon with an elongated handle instead of a scoop; B) coil from the thread, to strengthen the plants in the ground; C) sticks to support plants; D) a piece of sponge on the wire for cleaning the glass from the inside; E) sharp blade for trimming shoots.
	Using a funnel made of heavy paper, the drainage material and the earth are covered in a bottle. To avoid rotting, make drainage from gravel, clay granulate or expanded clay and chopped charcoal, a layer 3-6 cm thick. On top of the layer it is necessary to decompose the previously moistened substrate: a mixture of earth for flowers and peat in equal parts. The content of nutrients in the ground should be very small.
	Try to arrange instead of plants paper about the same size, in order to think over the composition. High plants should be located behind, and small ones in the foreground. Each well should be done separately: a teaspoon to dig a hole in the ground, plant a plant, and then take on the next hole.
	Pre-selected plants for the garden are removed from the pots. Large earthen lumps should be cut off, and then the green plantations will grow more slowly in size.
	The plants taken from pots, with two chopsticks, are placed in pre-prepared wells. First, plant the plants closer to the walls of the vessel, and then those that will grow in the middle.
	After you place all the small tropical plants on the bottom of the bottle, you need to compact the ground and sprinkle them with a small spray. The inner walls of the bottle can be cleaned with a sponge on a strong, flexible wire.

Tightly clogging the vessel and putting it in a bright, but not sunny place, you will long months to admire the "garden in the bottle." From time to time it is necessary to air it and if the plants are too large, cut them.

It is possible to put into the bottle bizarre little snags that fill the empty space between the plants and the neck of the bottle. And if you add small stones to the vessel, you will get a charming miniature landscape.

Plants for terrariums: The number of plants that can be grown in terrariums and bottles is rather limited. You can plant only those plants in which the root system is small or nonexistent. Below is a list of plants suitable for cultivation in a terrarium located far from the light source.
