Continue reading Magic Bean Day 6 – Some New Colors for My Crystal Soil
Wrapping the pots or roots of a plant with moss is actually quite easy. I was actually quite surprised when I did it for the first time and found how easy it really was. I was like, “wow! That’s it?” So, believe me, it is probably easier than what you have thought. Here is how to wrap pots or roots with moss.
On Day 4, I finally could see some of the magic beans had their roots break-opened the red seed coat and got ready for more actions. And, the color of the crystal soil has changed. Some of these crystal beads have a brownish tone now. I am guessing that they are probably colored by the red seed coat of the magic beans.
A few days ago, a friend asked me how often and how much should she water her plants when planting in crystal soil. I would say we should add water to the crystal beads whenever the beads shrink to around half of its size or to a size that cannot stably hold up the plants anymore.

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
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.
Tabletop garden makes wonderful home decor. And choosing indoor plants with similar light and water requirements is one of most important rules when designing a tabletop garden. So what if we want to put some plants with very different cultivation requirements together in the same tabletop garden? The answer is … use smaller container(s) within the main container of the tabletop garden. And here, let me show you how I use both a succulent and some aquatic plants to create my tabletop garden – Merry Christmas. Continue reading How to Make Tabletop Garden – Merry Christmas |
