Hi everyone, hope all of you are stay safe and doing well. Some days before i tried to made terrarium using old /fused glass bulb band learn to manage it.After all these I want to share something about terrarium.
A terrarium is a collection of small, decorative plants growing in an enclosed environment. Terrarium containers are typically transparent and provide an opening big enough to allow the gardener to access the plants inside. The best part about a terrarium is that you get to create something one-of-a-kind.
From definition and inspiration to creation and care, we’ll be enjoying our miniature garden in no time at all. Before we roll up our sleeves, let’s make sure we have all the supplies we’ll need to get started. MATERIALS REQUIRED: Glass Vessel – we need some sort of glass vessel to create our terrarium. There are plenty of unique containers from which to choose. we should be sure that the vessel is made of a transparent material so we can enjoy our mini-garden. Small Stones or Pebbles – Small stones or pebbles are used as the base of our terrarium. The small pebbles act as water drainage for the plants’ roots to ensure that excess water doesn’t stay in the soil and cause rot. Activated Charcoal – we won’t need much; a thin layer of activated charcoal keeps water fresh and helps to fight off bacterial growth in our terrarium. Potting Soil – Potting soil will act as an important layer for our DIY terrarium. Any type of soil should do the trick, although there are special mixes available if we are planting cacti or succulents. Plants – It wouldn’t be a terrarium without the greenery. Pick out a few of our favorite pint-sized plants to use in our terrarium. Air plants, succulents and mini-cacti are all viable options. Small Gardening Tools – Having small tools handy will help us to create and situate all of the items in our terrarium. Things to be kept in mind: 1.Select plants that are small enough for your glass vessel. 2.You won’t want any greenery touching the sides of your container and making your terrarium feel cramped. Plants that do well with humidity are most likely to thrive in your terrarium. Steps to be followed : Step 1: Cover the bottom of your terrarium with a 1 ½ inch-thick layer of small stones or pebbles. Step 2: Add a very thin layer of activated charcoal. Step 3: Add a layer of potting soil. Step 4: Now it’s time to add your plants. Step 5: After all of your plants are arranged in your glass vessel, complete the look with a layer of pebbles. Importance: Plants are known to increase productivity and creativity. Indoors plants provide many health and wellness benefits to the people that are in the same vicinity. Known for their low maintenance requirements, terrariums work well for people with busy lives. They are limited to a confined space. |

Making terrarium is a good idea of decorating a small bulb and making it mini ecosystem.
