What is a bottle garden?
A bottle garden is a closed or open glass bottle filled with plants, soil and decorative elements, which together form an ecosystem.
The concept of a closed bottle garden revolves around natural balance: water evaporates, condenses on the glass and returns to the plants, so that the garden sustains itself.
Some plants thrive better in an open bottle garden, so that there is natural ventilation.
Open bottle gardens
An open bottle garden has a cork stopper but also a hole in the glass bottle.
The round holes in the Bottles from The Green Bottle Garden are at the back of the bottle.
This bottle garden is ideal for plants that prefer drier conditions, such as a cactus, bromeliad , anthurium or orchid .
The open structure allows for air circulation, which prevents excessive moisture from accumulating.
Open bottle gardens require a little more maintenance, read more care tips in our blog .
Closed bottle gardens
A closed bottle garden is completely sealed with a cork or glass lid and creates its own humid climate.
This type is perfect for plants such as mosses, ferns and tropical plants, which thrive in a moist, stable environment.
The closure creates a cycle of water and air, meaning you hardly need to water – often only once every few months.
*The Green Bottle Garden does not (yet) sell closed bottle gardens.
What makes a bottle garden unique?
A bottle garden from The Green Bottle Garden is not just a glass bottle: it is a design plant in itself made from sustainable materials.
Each bottle garden contains carefully selected plants, high-quality soil and decorative stones, which creates a unique look.
