Make a closed terrarium DIY -a sealed bottle garden filled with closed terrarium plants that thrive in a humid environment! The sealed terrarium creates an ecosystem in a bottle where plants for high humidity can survive for many decades! What's more exciting is that the terrarium plants are slow-growing, self-sustaining, and need no watering after planting! Sealed bottle gardens are ideal for humidity-loving terrarium plants like ferns, pileas, peperomias, and moss plants. Shirley Bovshow shows you how to make a terrarium in a bottle by layering gravel, charcoal, and potting soil. Activated charcoal absorbs chemicals in the soil, water, and air that can build up inside your terrarium over time and damage your plants. Learn to make long-handled gardening tools so you can plant in a bottle with no problems! Check out some oversized glass bottles on Amazon. Make sure to order a cork to fit opening or create a bottle top with a rolled cork sheet. Watch and subscribe to Shirley Bovshow's “EdenMaker“ gardening video channel.
