Bottle palm has a large swollen (sometimes bizarrely so) trunk. It is a myth that the trunk is a means by which the palm stores water. Bottle palms have only four to six leaves open at any time. The leaves of young palms have a red or orange tint, but a deep green is assumed at maturity. The flowers of the palm arise from under the crownshaft.
Melaleuca viminalis is a large shrub or small tree growing to 10 m (30 ft) tall with hard, fibrous, furrowed bark, a number of trunks and usually pendulous branches. Its leaves are arranged alternately and are 25–138 mm (1–5 in) long, 3–27 mm (0.1–1 in) wide, more or less flat, very narrow elliptical to narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and the other end tapering ...
Each flower head produces a profusion of triple-celled seed capsules around a stem (see picture) which remain on the plant with the seeds enclosed until stimulated to open when the plant dies or fire causes the release of the seeds. A few species release the seeds annually. [23] [24] Bottlebrush plants can be grown in pots. [25]
This bottle with a lime pothos (Epipremnum aureum) has not been opened or watered since the plant was placed in it several months previously.A bottle garden has the essential requirements of soil, water, and light for the survival of plants and other organisms that are housed in it, as well as a reservoir of water, as water is trapped inside the bottle and unable to evaporate.
The plants often grow together in crowded colonies and spread by runners at or just under the soil surface. In late summer the plants produce tubers that are twice as long as wide, [9] each typically measuring 0.5 to 5 cm (1 ⁄ 4 to 2 in) in diameter. [8] The plant produces rosettes of leaves and an inflorescence on a long rigid scape.
The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. [1] Because it is a non-circulating technique, no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required.

Grevillea paradoxa is an erect to open, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–2 m (1 ft 8 in – 6 ft 7 in) and has prickly foliage. Its leaves are 15–55 mm (0.59–2.17 in) long and pinnatipartite, with 3 to 9 widely spreading, sharply pointed, linear lobes, each usually dividing at least once, the end lobes 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) long and 0.5–1.5 mm (0.020–0.059 ...
