Try terrarium gardening

If you think you've exhausted the plant possibilities around your home, consider creating your own terrarium Terrahum gardening — grow ing plants in a glass container — can be fun and a challenge to your ingenuity To create your terrarium, you'll need an enclosed, clear glass container to start with The possibilities vary from, brandy snifters to aquahums, and even glass bowls that stack on top of one another Keep m mind that your terrarium will be functioning as a display piece as well, when choosing your container Start off with a bottom layer Os gravel, then add a layer of potting soil in your container Now you should consider the plants you want to place in your terranum Small plants are ideal and there are many that will flourish in such an environment. Ferns make excellent terrarium plants, as the glassenclosed environment emulates their native tropical surroundings. Mother fem. button fern, ribbon fern and southern maidenhair fern are some of the possibilities m this category If you would like flowering plants in your terrarium, you can choose from African violets, miniature begonias, gloxinia, cape primrose, oxalis. callopis or flame violet Other plants you might consider for your terrarium are aluminum plant, ivy. selaginella. iresine. dracena. and the friendship plant Remember that variety makes a terrarium more interesting!

.After you have chosen your plants, place each one in the terranum individually, firming soil around the roots Then water gently in order not to disturb the terrain. Although terrariums are simple to maintain — all they require is warmth and bright light other than direct sunlight and occasionally moistening — they do need care if they are to flourish the way you want them to. All-important is where they are placed in a room Remembering that : you should strive to duplicate their native tropical or semi-jtropical environment, find a spot m your home where your plants will be most comfortable It may take some moving around at first, but it will be worth the effort A location that receives bright light not direct sunlight) from a window, away from heaters, with an even temperature of 60 to 70 degrees should make your terrarium plants feel right at home. Watch for these signs of trouble in your mini-paradise: Wfhite or brown spots indicate that plants are receiving too much water. Take out the plants with spots on them and let the terrarium dry out. if such is the case Watering should be once a month or when soil dries out Leaves that are wilted or shriveled indicate that it's time to water

Make sure the lid on your terrarium fits snugly It should be' removed from time to time to allow air to circulate among your plants and discourage mildew
