If you have a family and a pet, why not share the love of gardening by building a terrarium and grow both of them in separate mini worlds? In fact, you can make a small family farm out of just about any type of plant. Some of your most successful terrarium plants are actually seeds from wild or garden plants. With many species of plants this is possible, and not something that is limited to just “farming” type terrarium plants. One common plant with both good looks and seed potential is the wish terrarium. This is a terrarium full of living flowers that will bloom and die at the same time.
There are several ways to use a wish terrarium, but there are a few things that are unique to this type of container. With a dandelion necklace blue tear drop resin pendant make a wish terrarium for your goldfish, choose a pendant made of either silver or gold plating, and plant seeds from the same species of flower. Another choice is to use the Silver Peace friendship dandelion seed pod. You will also want to include some water-soaked cotton wool or sand in the bottom of the terrarium. This will keep the roots from rotting.
The first thing you need to do is find some seeds that are replicas of the species of flower in your flower garden. For example, if you had a purple coneflower in your garden you would grow them inside your wish terrarium with some dandelion seed mix. Grow a full field of Wish tulips next to your wild violets. These two terrarium plants will produce beautiful lush growths that will fill your whole garden.
Your next step is to create a water feature in the bottom of your wish terrarium. You can use any type of container that has a large enough water capacity to house the Tulips, Lilies, and daisies. Then, start growing some additional wild flower seeds like daffodils, sunflowers, and hydrangeas. These will provide your tulips and other herbs with extra food as well as shelter from the elements. Be careful not to over-water these plants, as they will burn, but they will also reward you by growing beautifully.
Once you have finally finished your tulip/daffodil wish terrarium, it is time to add some extra plants to your garden. Now, you will need to get a few different types of flower seeds, so you can start growing a hybrid of one flower that is in season at this time. A little bit of research should help you get started right away with your garden plan.
A lot of people are using plants in their terrariums, not only as companions for other living creatures, but as a way to grow their own gardens. By growing your own garden inside your terrarium, you can have a little piece of the wild when you need it. By planting different kinds of flowers and plants in your tulip or wish terrarium, you can have exactly what you want. You can grow exotic plants or you can even grow some natives. The choice is yours.
While you are planning your garden inside your tulip/daffodil wish terrarium, be sure that you label the terrarium. This will make it easy to locate the plants when you are ready to replant. You do not want to accidentally dig up your favorite plant. This is especially important if you live in a place that does not get the proper sunlight for growing most types of plants.
When you are done, just add some gravel to your garden and you are ready to go. With the tulip wish terrarium you can have a small section of your backyard planted with wild flowers and plants, and your tulip fish can rest comfortably at the bottom. You can actually use the wish terrarium as a diving board if you wish. It is really a neat idea and it would make a great addition to any garden. The bottom of the garden is wide enough to hold several fish and it will provide them with shelter from the sun as well as from predators.
