Cranleigh - The gardener named David Latimer, managed to create an amazing experiment. He made a small garden is placed in the bottle, after 40 years turned out the plant it thrives despite never watered.

David, want to test a theory where a plant can survive in the environment without being given water. He put four seeds in the bottle it. Three of the four seeds that has been died, but the seeds of the plant commonly called Spiderworts or Tradescantia is continuing to grow despite this plant  not were treated.

"I started planting in 1960. I got this idea because I wanted to see whether the plant can survive in an isolated environment," said David. As quoted from the Mirror.

"This is an experiment to see how long the plants it will survive. Tradescantia plants continue to grow until it fills the bottle. Whereas I just flush twice at the beginning of 1970, "added retired this electric engineer.

To survive, the plant it absorb solar energy from sunlight, and water resulting from the carbon dioxide moisture and nutrients produced from leaves that have been rotted. This process could also produce oxygen.
