Do you know what plants those are? The front one looks kinda aquatic but what’s in the taller bottle not. The reason I’m asking is that if the plants are not suitable for this setup, they’ll create a big stink and kill everything inside.
Not suitable are plants that emerge from the water, plants that grow on the banks, terrestrial plants that were just submerged by rising water levels but will rot within a couple of days, big plants that need more room and nutrients than a jar can provide, floating plants, algae…pretty much 90% of what you find in the wild.
Most of us use fishtank plants.
Also, avoid direct sunlight. If sun rays shine through the bottles, it’s too much. You’ll end up with a headache of algae.
