Garden Affair : Terrarium

                      Terrarium is a  glass container either sealed or open  where plants are grown inside a glass container and kept indoors for decoration purposes. 

                                                


How to start with making a terrarium :

               . Firstly we have to choose a container according to your will and requirement of making  a terrarium.    It could be anything like a round fish glass container , an old fashioned glass container .                                               

                                                     A round glass container for terrarium


, Now we have to gather material like sedimentary rocks, charcoal and brick stones which will be placed at the bottom of glass container as a base for terrarium. This will help in maintaining moisture in container.  

                            



Next step will be spreading river sand as a next layer over the sedimentary rocks which will help in excess drainage of water .                                                                                                                             



And the final layer of potting soil which will be used for growing plants.                                       



Now plants selection depends on the size of your container and also depends where are you planning to keep the terrarium, for instance a place which receives sunlight or place of shade.                            

I  have chosen  a set of plants like Aralia, nerve plant, baby's breath plant



Now Add the decorative figurines according to theme of your terrarium. I have used Lord Ganesha statue and some bird figurines and here is the final glimpse of my Lord Ganesha terrarium.

Maintenance of Terrarium :                                                                                                   
Terrarium should be watered carefully with light pressure  of water and plants used should be pruned periodically depending upon the requirement.

Garden Affair : Pennywort plant

 I have been growing  aquatic plants from a long time now and I believe Pennywort plant is one of the most attractive and unique aquatic plant that can be grown even by an amateur gardener . 

                                                                      



Pennywort plant is a small bushy aquatic plant that grows widely in a short span of time. 

Care of Pennywort plant  
                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                                       

Pennywort grows well in a bright area without receiving direct sun on the plant. This plant is an aquatic plant its important to keep a constant check on plant regarding adequate water level other wise it may dry up and die .                                                                                                                 


It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where you can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will remain open for a week starting from Saturday.

Garden Affair : Fruit Harvest from the year

 I have always been fascinated about  growing plethora of fruits in my garden irrespective of knowing whether it would actually adapt in our hot temperate climate . It lead to miserable  failure of growing trees like lychee . The success ratio was more and over the years my garden was blessed by almighty with  some of the tastiest fruits of Guava, Orange, Mango , Java plum, pomegranate  and even Phalsa plant.                                        

                                                      Pomegranate Plant



Mangoes 




                                                                   Guavas 



Chinese Orange 


Phalsa plant

Fruit plants are generally hardy plants, generally these plants  adapt in a period of time  in our respective  environment and yields delicious fruits year after year.                                           

It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where we can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will remain open for a week starting from Saturday.
