Now that you have the bottle prepared you need to fill it. I had pea pebbles left over from another AP project so that is what I used. There are other growing mediums to use also.

Because I used what I had hanging around the house I had to rinse and boil the rocks first. If you are using something else you may get away with only rinsing.

After the prep work was done with the pebbles it was time to start to fill the bottle.

Start by filling up to about half way. Insert the plant, pod and all and fill in around it. Fill to just near the top of the bottle.

Now this is where the top of the bottle comes back into play. Take the top and gently slip it over the leaves and down to the bottom of the stem. Tuck it into the top lip of the bottle.
