A Bottle Plant


        “A plant survived 50 years in a bottle”, this was the matter that made everyone with wide eyes in the year 2013. Container will have a bottle plant recently grown, Oxygen and sufficient water is added inside the container so as to provide basic needs for the plant. Soil moisture, oxygen and temperature sensors are used to know the changes and the parameters affecting the plant’s life. This experiment will help us to understand that how long a Bottle plant can survive and upon its success it could be helpful for us to make giant bottle gardens in future and thereby creating a hope for natural oxygen and food.
          In our experiment, a bottle plant is sent from earth and kept in a observation. The monitoring module which comprises of oxygen, soil moisture and temperature sensor keeps tracking the bottle plant and sends the daily report to the station.
