mini wonders

If space restrictions prevent you from setting up a garden at home, you can set up a miniature garden in the house.
In fact, a glass bowl or a dish can easily be your garden.
Bottle gardens or aquariums and gardens are called miniature self
Depend on the ecosystem.
In addition, they can improve the atmosphere of the living room. According to R.
Jayakumar of Parassala Atmanilayam Garden, it is not a difficult job to do a bottle Garden.
\"Choose a glass bowl or a glass aquarium to make a bottle garden.
Wash with soap and hot water.
Rinse clean with cold water and keep it dry.
Arrange the bottom of the container in a line of about 1 inch thick with small gravel similar to those used by the aquarium.
This ensures enough drainage.
It is desirable to add a thin layer of charcoal to it, as it effectively cleans up the atmosphere.
The soil of the past must be disinfected by \"dry sunlight.
The sterilized soil and sand should be mixed in equal proportions.
Mix some organic fertilizer in this and fill in one
Fifth with the container of the mixture.
If a bottle with a narrow neck is selected, the planting mixture can be filled into the bottle using a cardboard funnel, \"he said.
Can be planted in narrow neck bottles with a stick.
After planting, you can decorate the bottle garden with pebbles, marbles, shells, statues, etc.
Clean the dust inside the leaves and glass containers using a soft cleaning brush.
Water should be sprayed in small quantities and bottles/aquariums should be tight-fitting lid.
Put it in a bright but indirect place.
The best location is near bright rooms or bright windows.
The water in the bottle evaporates and condenses into water droplets on the glass wall.
These drops tumble down to moisten the soil.
Water is therefore effectively recycled.
If dry is noticed in the bottle, then just spray the water again.
If there is a lot of condensate, open the bottle for a while from time to time.
Remove the dead leaves as soon as you notice them.
Excess plant growth inside the bottle can be removed with scissors or rods connected with blades.
These plants should be replaced in a year or two. B.
Kumari Girija, a retired botany professor and garden enthusiast, believes that an aquarium is needed in our city.
\"Although this concept is new to us, it is very popular in Western countries.
These gardens require less care and are easy to maintain.
You can even plant small, juicy flowering plants such as table roses in these glass gardens.
Place the plants in the solarium in a beautiful way.
The highest plants should go first, then the middle, and finally the smallest.
\"Don\'t be overly crowded and leave room for plants to grow,\" she said . \".
Gardens are also a trend among urban residents.
They need bright indirect sunlight.
Dish gardens can also be placed in direct sunlight.
Flat or curved dishes without drainage holes can be used to make vegetable gardens.
Small pieces of gravel and charcoal are placed at the bottom;
Then put a mixture of soil, sand and fertilizer on it.
The space of 1 out of 4 is empty on the surface.
Small varieties of cactus, crypts, hyvorsia and juicy plants can be planted in these dishes.
Water should be used in such a way that there will be no excess water in the garden.
The Garden of dishes can also be decorated with pebbles and toys.
Jayakumar said irrigation and care should be carried out according to the nature of the plant.
