I am just being playful there and stole some action figures from my brother and put them in my Tabletop Garden – After Jurassic. It is quite cool and I will probably do more. Maybe as my brother’s request, I will make a garden suitable for my brother’s Gundam action figures. haha 😀 Continue reading Tabletop Garden – After Jurassic x Dragonball
Here, let me show you how to pot a plant with crystal soil (aka soil moist).
Put a teaspoon of crystal soil into a container.
Add water and soak them for a few hours according to the instruction on the package. I always add more than enough water for I will drain any excess water with a strainer afterwards. If you use clear crystal soil and want some color crystal beads, you can add food coloring now.
We simply add a small amount of crystal soil (aka soil moist) into the potting soil. In this case, the crystal soil is a soil additive for potted plants. Crystal soil functions as a water storage that retains moisture around the plant’s roots, constantly nourishes the plant with water.
Crystal soil (a.k.a. soil moist) is water absorbent polymer beads, which can absorb and hold up to 80-150 times of its volume of water for a long period of time. As a reservoir, crystal soil stores water and releases the water whenever the plant needs it. Crystal soil can be used . . . → Read More: What is Crystal Soil?
A tabletop garden is a wonderful home decor item. And if you make your tabletop garden simple enough to alter and customize, it can be an excellent themed decoration in your home for many festival seasons. The Chinese New Year of 2009 came earlier than usual, and the New Year’s Day of the Year of Ox fell on the 26th of January. So, instead of throwing away my Christmas-themed tabletop garden, I gathered some Chinese New Year decorations and reassembled the tabletop garden, and put together a tabletop garden of Chinese New Year theme. Hydroculture (a.k.a. passive hydroponics) is the practice of cultivating plants without the use of soil. Because of the ease of maintenance and its many other advantages over soil, it is a perfect way for indoor gardening. So why is hydroculture so good? Healthier

I have asked other gardeners in different gardening forums, and it seems that the gardeners in the U.S. (and probably in other western countries as well) uses crystal soil only as a soil additive. 
Sometimes, hydroculture is called the passive hydroponics. It is like the little brother of hydroponics – with smaller containers, simpler solution, and a cheaper and less complicated system. While hydroculture likes hydroponics, can be used for growing vegetables that we can buy in supermarkets, hydroculture is more for houseplants and for the fun of indoor gardening.
