Es una buena idea de proyecto. Sin embargo, se cometen muchos errores en cuanto al cuidado de las plantas. El drenaje no es el adecuado. Mezclan especies con diferente requerimiento hídrico. No mencionan la proporción de componentes del sustrato. La cantidad de agua que agregan es insuficiente para las plantas. No mencionan qué hacer cuando las plantas crezcan demasiado (aunque no creo que crezcan mucho con las condiciones que les dan). El agua "reposada" no tiene fundamento científico.
