Might I suggest a fish dehooker for placing rocks or other object in specific locations, or even after you drop your seedling in the fish dehooker is perfect to grasp gently and move around. The neck and gripper plenty narrow to fit through the opening of the bottle and squeeze gentle enough as to not damage the plant... 👍🏻
You can place a rag in a neodymium magnet on the inside of you container and guide it around with another neodymium magnet on the outside of the container to clean.Thank You for your videos very informative.
Newspaper would fall apart easily if anything you drop in is wet. You can try using a magazine cover to make a funnel, and pour the soil in the glossy side since it would withstand moisture better. :)
i think a canning funnel would be good when putting rocks and soil in,also if no sticks a thin in diameter wooden dowels would work plus a sea food fork would come in handy for moving rocks /soil in addition to one with spoon,just wish more things came in glass jugs like they use to and would be handy to use.
It would be so much easier if you use two magnets. One on the inside on the back of the paper and one on the outside to guide the internal magnet across the glass wiping the glass as you go.
We did this in our earth science class in HS. It was a test for us. We were given the list and had to provide our own plant and guesstimate the water amount. If we were right, our plant would thrive and we passed. If we guessed wrong then it died and we failed. I was so nervous but thrilled to find out my team did it correctly and it was so much fun. Think i'll do some of these in smaller containers around my house ^_^
What's the best potting soil to use? I was told not to use any with miracle grow fertilizer in it, and is it OK to use some potting soil that comes with the wood chips mixed in it?
This is awesome!! I noticed some didn’t have lids. So I guess that would mean u can just water regularly. I have a huge jar with no lid. I’d like to try this
Thanks nice to watch Question: why don't you seal the top like the guy who hasn't watered his bottled plant in fourty years? I thought that creates mini climatic system? Can I suggest glass Turkey baster for adding water or any thin long clear plastic pipe. Dip into water, close end with your thumb and then release inside the bottle. Repeat if needed and no sticky walls. Japanese and Chinese shops sell extra long chop sticks and they have rugged ends easy to hold on to a plant.
He got a little lucky with how well his experiment worked out in all honesty because too much water and mold would have killed the plant, too little and it wouldn't have been able to create the cycling of the water on its own. But, that being said, the larger the starting bottle the longer it can live closed off, eventually even in that large bottle the plant will lose balance simply due to the slow grind of entropy and it will die without outside help. Finding that right balance is harder in a small bottle like a gallon cider jug and easier in large ones like his.
I'm about to do this tomorrow with my kids,amayzing job and a fun thing to do,I'm using the same style bottles...any advice on exotic plants? My little girl wants a rose lol anyway cheers for a nice vid
Is there a reason your funnel is 18 inches tall?? Seems inconvenient to say the least! You can buy funnels at an auto parts store with really long ends to point the water where you need it, and they have different widths. Much, much more practical then parchment paper!
Wan't to know some magic.If you put seeds in there,It will be easier than putting a grown plant. :D ...Now I have to lock my doors because I reaveled a crazy wizards secret.
i really need help and cant seem to find anything from google searches. i have a terrarium plant, its a Gold Dust plant and has been in the terrarium for about 5 years now. i knew nothing about this plant when i got it, it was a thing for science class where we were all given different plants to put in a bottle terrarium. after planting it i just sorta forgot about it, set it on my desk where its been since then, heavily watered low quality soil with rocks on the bottom. its starting to get brown patches on the stem and the stem near the soil is really brown now. i pruned some dead and spotted leaves off today, drained the water out of the bottom and took the top off. my question is, can i save this plant? what can i do to prevent the possible root rot or stem rot from getting worse? i want to replant it in a slightly bigger pot but dont want it to die of shock, maybe i could just leave the top off of it for a while (how long?) and then replant it? i know gold dust is a hardy plant but can it survive this? any advice is highly appreciated.
I am not an expert but I garden a lot and have dealt with root rot. Mold on leaves either to much water and bad drainage and mix of good soil, rocks, and don't over water or you get root rot, also container tl small, you have to cut back, teat rot, good soil drainage use gravel and gloves don't handle plant a lot. I would put it in basement where cooler dry, like over wintering, exactly. watch carefully and get any molded leaves off. Plant needs a break! See good new growth you are ahead, always talk to professional! I would either cut new starters, put in rooting powder, and use cardboard like seedling cont. Don't over water, if plant has longer stems place stem in different pot to get start up, should grow small roots, again I always use rooting for powder? I also would try the dish soap misting with water mix in case do have mites ot other critters before repot. Look up, but think its 1pt to 3pts water and get under leaves,, used for roses but I use it a problem with most, it won't harm plants if you never used. Afids, plabt small peice of potato in pot at edge. Most hate this and potato plant will grow can cut baack or it gives your plant fullness. I may not be a pro but I'd try some of these ideas if hardy or not u may need to rcot newbies if u can . may not have helped cuz there are smarter gardeners then I. But I've been successful with these tips and more? Good luck, I have lost some older, hardy plants I wanted to cry over, give proper burial with a headstone, joking but crazy enough ! Take care
+Kerri Morris thanks for the advice. Since this comment actually though it lost all of its leaves :( but I'm not giving up on it. I cut some little stems and dusted them with rooting powder as you have suggested here. They aren't growing yet but I just have to wait and see. As for the stem, it's still green and it seems as if there is a tiny bit of growth at the top. It's naturally a slow growing plant so only time will tell. I have it in a well lit area but no direct sunlight (which is bad for this kind of plant) but yeah i repotted it or what was left of it and am just giving it lots of TLC. Pretty much the top of the stem where I cut is getting smaller and more narrow. Not sure if it's withering or repairing itself I hope it's the latter. What do you think?
TheEmberSeeker I really hope you can save this? Why, I know how it feels to keep that special plant (s) and still feel like a failure, which u really shouldn't. I spoke about putting the plant to rest for a while, that may or may not work I'm hoping it would? I say this because plants have life cycles to and I didn't know if anyone attempted to help you? Others may be better telling you a few things, but it sounds like you are trying everything I suggested. I will try to find more info on this plant where I am, but you are doing a lot to save this plant, it's like losing a long time friend? Not lost now, have you prayed to the plant gods? Yes, I believe I've gone that far, like going over the edge and it's a plant, but... You take care and good luck, talk to anyone you can, the older generations sometimes have crazy but great advice? They love to share or won't give away their secrets, I'd certainly ask.
+TheEmberSeeker Are there little nodular bumps on the stem? If so that is where it may take root? Unless that's exactly what you did? I believe you know what you are doing. Take care!
+Kerri Morris I don't think praying for plants is crazy :) I believe in one God though but yeah I think it's fine to pray for not only people and pets but plants since all these are living things he created. That's just my thought on that. On the cutting I took out (probably shouldn't have done that but I figured since I have three I might as well take a look at one of them). at the bottom there is a bit of a white bulge so I think roots may start to form. After looking at it I put it back in the soil so I'm sure it will be fine. The main plant is still green and the top seems to be getting narrow and on one side it's sticking up a bit, I think it's repairing itself. It may not be but I'm hopeful, but if it dies I will just get another and try again. At least this time I will know what I'm doing and won't suffocate it like I did this one. Thank you for your help. I'm going to take it to a local nursery and let them see it maybe they will know what could help as well.
jordanhill15 yes it should have condensation on the glass in the morning and in the evening, if the inside of the bottle had condensation all the time you will need to open the bottle to air out or just wipe the moisture of with a paper towl
Thank you! I just bought a big old carboy bottle and have been looking for ideas...
Btw can put a layer of charcoal n a mesh or something to separate the soil to t gravels n charcoal so no mix!
Might I suggest a fish dehooker for placing rocks or other object in specific locations, or even after you drop your seedling in the fish dehooker is perfect to grasp gently and move around. The neck and gripper plenty narrow to fit through the opening of the bottle and squeeze gentle enough as to not damage the plant... 👍🏻
Nice instructional video. You make terrariums look easy!
The spoon on the stick is a great suggestion ! Thanks.
You can place a rag in a neodymium magnet on the inside of you container and guide it around with another neodymium magnet on the outside of the container to clean.Thank You for your videos very informative.
I use the top of a plastic water bottle cut off for a funnel it's much easier to work with
garden heart I use a funnel :)
Thats smart ,,, thanks .
Thank you darling. Your tutorial inspires me to landscape a bottle terrarium. So much easier than building a ship in a bottle.
So beautiful❤❤ very nice work 👍👍
I like the apple juice jug you used! I have a job just like that and I used it as a vase for my tall, heavy arrangements! Thanks for the cool video.

Do you have to use charcoal to help with odor control and moisture? Do i have to worry about the plant rotting from over moisture?
some people use charcoal to keep the water clean and free of infections
Ka yess
Idea of tying the spoon with stick is superb 👌
Tip when filming reflective surfaces like this bottle, use a black backdrop behind the camera to cut down reflections
i think a canning funnel would be good when putting rocks and soil in,also if no sticks a thin in diameter wooden dowels would work plus a sea food fork would come in handy for moving rocks /soil in addition to one with spoon,just wish more things came in glass jugs like they use to and would be handy to use.
Is it just me or does she seem like a really nice person?
She does seem like a nice person, I agree with you!
Yes, she seems so sweet!! love it =)
akamaster09 g
definitely!
It's the "Apple Juice" wink wink.
I love your idea on making these glass plant homes out of simple resources from outside
It would be so much easier if you use two magnets. One on the inside on the back of the paper and one on the outside to guide the internal magnet across the glass wiping the glass as you go.
Hello! What kind of plants do survive in a bottle garden? I have never done this before. Thank you!
lovely terrarium well expained
Very nice.Thanks for sharing.
beautiful way of small garden :)
i would really like to see an update of this, ie what does the terrarium look like now 4 years later.
We did this in our earth science class in HS. It was a test for us. We were given the list and had to provide our own plant and guesstimate the water amount. If we were right, our plant would thrive and we passed. If we guessed wrong then it died and we failed. I was so nervous but thrilled to find out my team did it correctly and it was so much fun.

Tutorials like these give me le tingles
Great job! Very creative. Thank you...
What's the best potting soil to use? I was told not to use any with miracle grow fertilizer in it, and is it OK to use some potting soil that comes with the wood chips mixed in it?
Tanner Mulford no it will expload after 2 days 13 hours 1 minute
Alpha smurf you could have commented sooner, I'm in the hospital now....
+Tanner Mulford lmfao lmfao
+ladama lol
Any soil could be used or some specific
Its a matter of comfort. I use it and I am happy using it.
+bensellegreenhouse you could use shoehorn to guide your plants down into the bottle. 😃
This is awesome!! I noticed some didn’t have lids. So I guess that would mean u can just water regularly. I have a huge jar with no lid. I’d like to try this
Great video thanks for sharing
a silicon baking sheet would work wonders :)
I'm sitting down to do a just which looks exactly the same but wasnt sure what to do, thanks heaps!
What about live charcoal? As a filter? And the a screen? Then the soil???

I have made a few of these but I really have a hard time cleaning the interior .???
I'm about to do this tomorrow with my kids,amayzing job and a fun thing to do,I'm using the same style bottles...any advice on exotic plants? My little girl wants a rose lol anyway cheers for a nice vid
Very interesting u r an artist thanks
Gosh I wish we could have seen an update of this.
What's a gosh and how can I get one?
Wow good job
dont the plants become lanky and sparse? esp the peppermia plants? which are the ones that will stay nice and small
Thank you so much - this was a really great video.
I've been really interested lately and making a terrarium so thank you
How many days once u water the plants ..
The top half of a soda bottle makes a great funnel
A turkey Baxter helps with watering as well.
Thanks for the video. Can this be turned into a lamp?
If it is completely sealed why would it need watered again?
flemwad if it is done the right way it doesn't
I heard that it doesn't need water in sealed terrarium....is it true?
what kind of soil did you use?
Excellent!
So cool I can't wait to make my own.
Is there a reason your funnel is 18 inches tall?? Seems inconvenient to say the least! You can buy funnels at an auto parts store with really long ends to point the water where you need it, and they have different widths. Much, much more practical then parchment paper!
may i use newspaper to make a funnel? thank you !
really nice video. thanks for the upload:)!
whoops! I meant to say "jug" not job.
After how many days I'll have to water it?
Water should not be stagnate for the plants, because plants roots will get spoiled. I think there must be a small hole for the water to come out.
No you add a specific amount of water and it cycles
That's what the rocks are for
Can i use cactus instead of that plants?
btw a turkey baster will help you water the inside of the water bottle better
Wan't to know some magic.If you put seeds in there,It will be easier than putting a grown plant. :D ...Now I have to lock my doors because I reaveled a crazy wizards secret.
Very nice .
Watch out there's a tiger behind you!!!!!!!!
Would you be able to plant the seeds in one of these?
Don't these outgrow the terrarium eventually?
Where we can find moss from?

Can you put small animals in it?
No
Julian M actually if you put small bugs such as worms or crickets or beetles it will help the ecosystem and make it more realistic
Where did you buy that big bottle?
nice i like it
can I close the bottle? or is it not recommended?
Watch the video she says in there
What a wonderful way to display. But yes, can I close up the bottle?
Thank you I love it
Could you tell me please what is the song at the end of your video
The song is Thirteen, by Big Star
is there such thing as too much condensation in the bottle?
jordanhill15 yes it should have condensation on the glass in the morning and in the evening, if the inside of the bottle had condensation all the time you will need to open the bottle to air out or just wipe the moisture of with a paper towl

So you can only use MALE plants in your Cider bottle.
I'd invite her to a cuppa tea.
I don't wanna be pushy or rude, but will you adopt me? You seem amazing.
L
Damjan S. อยาก
D. S. no doubt she is damn amazing
Is it ok to use female plants? You used only male plants.
What about your false bottom for drainage and activated charcoal idk but nice video
What is the Chandelier plant
Can we use cactii for this
I'm putting moss one and then in other I'm going to grow herbs (especially mint)
can u pls give us an updated on this jar
It sounds better than He for plants.. But who am I to pick holes in her presentation
why didn't you"tape"the end of the funnel and you don't have to kp folding it? thanks for da video tho
comment
voir en yuotu la.taille d uncoleus apres avoir eu qu e seule.couleurs il est devenu immense et j aimerai le racouci
where are you located
Did she not have a normal funnel?
How the fuck does she tell if that freaking plant is a male!?
Very nice video. thank you!
but i didn`t get the point with the unwieldy, way too big paper cylinder :D haha
That other vid said to mix charcoal with gravel.
SCG Niagara you definitely need charcoal and mesh to create a false bottom
She does know that you can buy a funnel... right?
*tee hee hee* Sometimes, the most obvious things simply don't occur to even the best of us. Oh, well...
She mentioned a funnel
I don't think a funnel at that size is available everywhere.
If you were listening she did mentioned it
Super Superb!! Super Superb!! Super Superb!!
Thanks for sharing!
please dont take this the wrong way pal, but im afraid of you
mee too lol
She is a woman
i making one these days.... tnx :D
you are beautiful :)
can put a Rose inside?
You used wrong method to put soil in bottle
