Patron Tequila Bottle Terrarium – Perhaps the easiest of all the glass bottles, Patron Tequila has a flat base, a short wide neck, and lots of volume.

Fertilising is seldom needed in either type of garden, however a very weak feed once a year in Spring may be of benefit if the plants appear to be growing much slower than you would like or are looking sickly.A large, transparent container – usually a glass bottle or interesting jar, with a lid of some kind. Truly, even the classic carboy and demijohn bottles – each long favored by the terrarium industry – were originally made to brew beer and wine.
