Procedure for creating a glass garden
- Get a glass container, large enough to contain our composition;
- Distribute the fertilized earth on the bottom of the pot;
- Get small seedlings or / and moss;
- Arrange the seedlings inside the pot with the help of aquarium tongs, being careful not to damage them;
- At this point you can delight in embellishing the composition with stones, shells, barks and more.
- It is important to give a little water every day, without overdoing the doses, as the humidity tends not to go out quickly inside the container due to the narrow neck, which is why the soil will remain moist more longer than a normal planter.
- If the plants used are aquatic, you can proceed to fill 1/3 of the ampoule or in any case just as much as the height of the plants is exceeded.
