Plants you can grow in bottles and jars.

 

Growing plants in bottles and jars can be a fun and creative way to add greenery to your home while upcycling containers. Here are seven plants that you can grow in bottles and jars: 

Terrariums: Terrariums are miniature ecosystems that thrive in closed containers like glass jars or bottles. You can create a self-sustaining environment with a variety of small plants like succulents, air plants (Tillandsia), or moss. These closed terrariums require minimal care, as the moisture inside the container recycles through condensation.

Herbs: You can grow herbs like basil, mint, or parsley in small glass containers. These are great for a kitchen windowsill garden. Make sure to provide proper drainage by adding small rocks or gravel at the bottom before adding soil.

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum): Spider plants are low-maintenance houseplants that do well in containers. They are known for their air-purifying qualities and can be grown in bottles with drainage holes or water propagation.

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum): Pothos is a popular indoor plant that can thrive in water. You can grow pothos cuttings in clear bottles or jars filled with water. Make sure to change the water regularly to prevent stagnation and algae growth.

Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana): Lucky bamboo is often grown in water-filled containers. It's known for its symbolic value in Feng Shui and is relatively easy to care for. Simply place the bamboo stalks in a jar with water and provide indirect light.

African Violets (Saintpaulia): African violets are small, colorful flowering plants that can be grown in containers. Choose a glass container with proper drainage and potting mix specifically designed for African violets.

Succulents: While most succulents prefer well-draining soil, you can create a mini succulent garden in a glass container with proper drainage. Use a mix of succulent soil and sand to ensure good drainage, and choose small succulent varieties like Echeveria or Sedum.

When growing plants in containers, ensure they have adequate light, water, and humidity levels based on their specific requirements. Make sure to choose containers that can provide adequate drainage or a suitable environment for the plant's needs. Additionally, keep an eye on the growth of your plants and consider repotting or transplanting them to larger containers as they grow.
