# Plants in a bottle

I need some "Me" time to distract me from the stress of the dead week before finals at college. So... I said, "screw it! I am going to do something new". I went on an adventure to a plant shop in Fremont, Seattle. I bought two plants and some soil with the intention to plant them in an apple cider glass jug I was saving for just this type of project.

Here is the before:

And the after:

It was quite a process of using two pencils taped together to get the fern planted right. Then I was going to suspend the air plant mid-air but it fell in, and... It looked good, so I left it sitting on the dirt (don't do this). 

Big props to anyone who builds ships in a bottle.



2-3 hours of distraction was perfect, back to finals week!
