Garden supply stores and some craft shops sell "real" cloches, but
you probably have something in your kitchen that you can use as a
substitute. Find a vase or a large glass jar and turn it upside down
over the plant. The cloche will keep the moisture in and will act like
a tiny greenhouse. Place your cloche-covered plant on a south-facing
windowsill, but avoid long exposure to direct sunlight. A small button
fern would be an ideal plant to cultivate in this way.


I found that a two or three liter plastic soda bottle works just as well.
Just cut off the bottom, and voila'!
