i would like to use my nice vodka bottles to put some dirt and plant a small flower, is this possible to grow?

Question

nothing long term something that looks pretty

Answer 1

I saved some beautiful wine bottles. I actually put fresh cut flowers, just one or two and sit them around the house. I can then reuse the bottles. Also with the change of season or theme of your room you can add different things, example: colored water, sand, colored beads, or use them for candlesticks. Have fun with it.

Answer 2

Nice Vodka Bottles

Answer 3

Yes, it IS possible! But you don't even NEED dirt. All you have to do is get some nice round stones that will fit through the mouth of you vodka bottle, drop them in add enough water to come about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the stones and add your plant. I have done this numerous times and have had great success. Just make sure to keep the water at the same level.

Answer 4

You can use organic soil fertiliser like pelleted chicken manure for your plants/flowers. If you would like a nice display this year look in your garden centre for bedding plants in the next couple of months. These are often annual and will give a good display this year. You can also start your own compost bin when the flowers die off later in the year to keep the organic theme going. There are so many bedding plants to choose from that it's a matter of personal taste. But do try to include French Marigolds (Tagetes) somewhere in your planting as they attract hover-flies which feed on aphids, a well known garden pest.

Dracaenas sanderiana, also called Lucky Bamboo because of the nodes that make it look like a grass, will grow happily in just water with infrequent feeding. They are extremely slow growing so they need no direct sunlight, in fact will yellow and drop leaves if the light is to strong. The plant needs its water changed weekly and it will live happily on old fish tank water, if you keep fish, since this will keep it fed without over doing the fertilizer. This plant likes high humidity and nonflouridated water. Try distilled or bottled water if you live in an area with hard water. Just add a couple of drops of aquarium plant food to the water you use to refill the plants container. But do not feed every time you change the water. Over feeding is very harmful to plants especially such a slow growing one.
I have grown coleus in water as well as geranium slips all winter so I have them ready for spring potting. I just keep the water up and rarely saw algal growth. If I did I completely changed that water with fresh water I had let sit 24 hours to dechlorinate but I have very soft water. My friend uses her fish tank water and her plants do very well.

Answer 6

A vodka bottle won't get enough air circulation to the soil and if the soil stays to wet all the time the roots will disease and rot.

Answer 7

how about filling the bottles with water and putting the tops you cut off carrots in to water level.? the folliage out the top is lite green and airy and grows easily

Answer 8

You could put small aquarium gravel in the bottom with a piece or two of lucky bamboo.

Answer 9

Not unless you can cut holes in the bottom. The water has to be able to escape, or it will rot the seeds/plants.

Answer 10

Put in a sprig of bamboo.
I have some in a pretty bottle and it does well.Grows too.
