This sort of close, self circulating/ self sustaining system is called a terrarium.
Many types of plants can be grown in this manner. The plant is planted in soil in a container which is then sealed.
In the case of the cactus only a small amount of water is placed in the bottle or jar. The roots of the plants draw the water into the plant, and water vapour is released through the stoma, this condenses on the inside of the container and runs down the side back into the soil. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged within the container in a similar manner.
The only limiting factor is the amount of water, as the plant grows its volume increases - the increased volume "locks up" water that would move through the water cycle. This means opening the container every few months and adding a little water.
Ferns and orchids can be grown in a similar manner, but require more water.
What else can I help you with?
Why happens when you spin a bottle of water?
When you spin a bottle of water, the centrifugal force causes the water to rotate along with the bottle. This rotation creates a vortex in the water, causing it to rise up the sides of the bottle towards the top. If spun fast enough, the water may even create a whirlpool effect inside the bottle.
Why does a bottle inflate when a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water?
When a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water, the air inside the bottle expands due to an increase in temperature. Since the bottle is sealed off from the outside, the expanding air has nowhere to go, causing the balloon to inflate as a result of the increased pressure inside the bottle.
Will water evaporate from a container?
It depends what it is covered with. If it is covered with a cloth then, as the cloth is porous, the water will evaporate. If however you cover the bowl with something that seals the top (makes it air tight), it will not evaporate.
Do vacuum sealed water bottles freeze?
No, vacuum-sealed water bottles do not freeze. The vacuum insulation helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside, so it will stay at its original state without freezing.
If I put a plant without roots in a bottle of water will it grow?
No, a plant without roots in a bottle of water will not grow. Roots are essential for the plant to absorb nutrients and water from the soil, which are necessary for growth. Without roots, the plant will not be able to establish itself and grow.
Why an empty glass bottle with a sealed cap float on water?
An empty glass bottle with a sealed cap floats on water because the air trapped inside the bottle provides buoyancy. The air in the bottle is less dense than water, causing the bottle to float on the surface. The sealed cap prevents water from entering the bottle, maintaining its buoyancy.
Why can't you open the water bottle?
The water bottle may be sealed tightly, making it difficult to open.
Why does hot air in a bottle collaspe in cold water?
When water is cooled, it shrinks. If the water is in a sealed bottle, it shrinks the bottle, too, collapsing it to some degree.
Can a cactus grow without water?
no
What is a bottle with no water?
an empty water bottle
Where can I purchase a factory-sealed water bottle for my upcoming hiking trip?
You can purchase a factory-sealed water bottle for your hiking trip at outdoor stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, or online retailers like Amazon or REI.
How do cactus react without water?
Cactus will react to not enough water by turning brown and basically will look very unhappy.
How can you drink liquids such as water in space?
From a sealed container much like a baby bottle.
How do water bottle rocket fly?
The bottle is partly filled with water and sealed. The bottle is then pressurized with a gas, usually air compressed from a bicycle pump. that basically work on Newton's law of reaction.
Does a 2 liter soda float in water?
An empty,sealed 2 liter soda bottle WILL float in water.
What is the significance of the David Latimer plant and how does it thrive in a sealed bottle garden?
The David Latimer plant is significant because it has thrived inside a sealed bottle garden for over 50 years without needing water or fresh air. This showcases the plant's ability to recycle its own resources and thrive in a self-sustaining environment.
Can you bring a plastic water bottle on a plane?
Yes, you can bring a plastic water bottle on a plane, but it must be empty when you go through security. You can refill it after passing through security at a water fountain or purchase a sealed bottle of water inside the airport.
