How to make a mini rainforest in a bottle

Equipment that you will need:

A clear, clean, plastic bottle; some soil/compost; any leafy plant; a pair of sharp scissors; some pebbles, stones or shells and some moss.

Method:

Firstly, get your plastic bottle and cut it with you scissors- about 4 inches from the bottom.

Next, tip your pebbles/stones/shells in as this will help with the drainage.

Following this, tip some moss on top of the pebbles/stones/shells so that the soil doesn’t sink into them.

After this, pour your soil into the bottle making sure that it doesn’t heap up.

Finally make a little hole for your plant and put it in.

You can put a plastic animal toy to top it off which you can buy on amazon for about £5.Make sure you water it about every 2 days and keep it in sufficient sunlight.

Now watch your rainforest grow and flourish.
