FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

This is my first time in this forum of greenhouse, and I searched for a topic of using a 2 liter soda bottle as a greenhouse. I didn't find any but has anyone ever tried it? I think a small plant can easily fit as the cold weather approaches and provide them warm temperature and light.

Update : so I emptied a 2 LT bottle, cut the bottom part and place my digital thermometer inside to see if the temperature rises. Outside was 65*F and sunny, inside the bottle with no holes rose to 94*F within 15mins!. So after I used the bottle neck as an opening so it can get oxygen and regulate the temperature, it was in the mid to high 80's . So I guess I will place them outside and test to see if they like the warm weather in their new bottle greenhouse.

hey natadorjr, it sounds like a pretty good idea for a small plant, i haven't tried, but i'm in the process of trying to build one for this winter, to protect them from freezing, i think if you are using the 2-liter bottle greenhouse for a small plant go ahead and do it!!!

are you thinking about taking the plant out when summer arrives, or you want to leave it permanently??


Good luck!!!=)

I'm thinking of doing it asap. I'll test to see what temperature I can get inside Tue bottle just to see if its worth it. If goes well I'll leave it outside but I will bring it when I gets extremely cold. I'll keep you updated on a new topic

I keep U.longolia in a "tank" like that:) I'll post some pics later in the winter.
