A dish garden is a small open type of terrarium, usually one inside. Generally, they are in direct sunlight. They are in shallow and open containers, where a terrarium may be in a closed container. Their history goes back to the Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, though our concept traces to Japan, during the Edo Period (about 1603—1868), inspired by the bonsai. Growth media Depending upon the type of plants grown, the Growth medium, media chosen for the pot should vary, and the media should have good drainage as well. The media should hold adequate moisture and not be very fertile, as fertile media encourages rapid growth. Fast-draining media may contain sand, perlite and ingredients that help drainage, thus cactus and other succulent plants do not get too much water. Most dish gardens are made with shallow, open dishes or bowls. They usually have multiple plants in the same container, often of various species. Succulents don't need deep media as they are often shallow r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wooden Stick Terrarium
Wood is a structural tissue/material found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic materiala natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere, such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In a living tree, it performs a mechanical-support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves. It also conveys water and nutrients among the leaves, other growing tissues, and the roots. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, woodchips, or fibers. Wood has been used for thousands of years for fuel, as a construction material, for making tools and weapons, furniture and paper. More recently it emerged as a feedstock for the production of pur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
