Had some free time on my hands so decided to get crafty and build a mushroom-shaped faux terrarium for our room divider. This container has been sitting in our storeroom for some time and I thought it was time to put my skills to the test. Loads of fun and it didn’t cost a cent since I already had all the materials at home.
I used the techniques we learnt from our terrarium workshop back in 2008 conducted by Bloxhome Terrarium. Things like setting up the drainage, using the correct soil, selecting suitable plants, and plant arrangement. Only thing is this particular container is not a true terrarium as it has a hole at the back, so regular watering is required.
Here is the view from the back, wonder if this little green creature is going to transform into a prince any time soon. Muacks!
can u teach how to make a terrarium? and what is the middle pic plant the one with red vein called? Where do u buy the plants for the terrarium?
Hi RW, The plant is called fittonia and you can get them at any garden centre. Bloxhome terrarium also sells diy kits that you can purchase. I’m not really qualified to teach lol, but you can attend a workshop at http://terrarium.wordpress.com/ :)
wow this is really nice! love the mushroom container :)
Thanks Charmaine! I enjoyed creating it, and it’s now sitting on our foyer table ;)
