Back in the sixties my Mother had a bottle garden in a large glass
Carboy.
She had it for many years and never had to water, feed or maintain it.

I managed to buy a carboy for a fiver at the local car boot sale and
now
hope to recreate the bottle garden. Does anyone have any suggestions
for
suitable plants? Or any tips (other than forgetting the bottle garden
and
making booze in it....)


Probably better to choose foliage plants rather than flowering ones, I
seem to remember that peperomia and marantas are often used., you also
need to ensure that it gets plenty of light, and that the plants will be
happy in a very humid atmosphere.
