These features are peaceful and serene, once you get it situated. Made with real rocks and plants, these containers can be rather heavy, depending on the size. The rocks are not secured in place, leaving the trickle of water to be adjusted and redirected as desired. The reservoirs in these containers aren't very large, so it'll need to be refilled every few days. If it sounds less than tranquil, you need to add more water. If the water begins pooling out the bottom, you have a misplaced stone and the water is escaping somewhere over the edge. I would suggest a miniature fountain for beginners, which is much less fuss with all the benefits.
These terracotta pots are cut, the edges ground smooth, then painted bright cheerful colors, and assembled with plants. The themes vary from fairies and gnomes to miniature woodland creatures or mermaids. Styles include bi-level or curved ascending pathway, additions or replacements may cause the price to change. Plant care differs between succulents, house plants, or outside, but don't worry. You'll recieve specific directions customized for each container. Available in three sizes- S-M-L
Big or small, one rule applies to all: Water less! With no drainage and nowhere for the water to go after the layers of: sphagnum moss, specially blended soil and carbonized charcoal, you'll want to lightly water these with a syringe for spray bottle set on stream to control the water. Unless it has air plants, in that case check below.
As easy peasy as they come. This little plant doesn't need dirt to survive, in fact placing it on dirt will kill it. So don't be a plant murderer! On sand or rocks is fine, or even stuffed in a shell as you see here is good. They get every thing they need from the air-- except water. Once a week you'll have to dunk it in purified water for at least 30 minutes. (Rain water is best) Let it have a good soak and then lightly shake off any water trapped in the crevices before laying out on a towel to dry.
This charming little decor is constructed with a sphagnum moss/metal base and stuffed with succulent cuttings. Because it's made with cuttings, the wreath must lay flat for 6 to 8 weeks in order to give it time to root, but can be hung after this time in a place that receives plenty of light indoors or out. (Note if hung on your door, be sure it recieves morning light and avoid brutal afternoon sun as these plants will sunburn and wilt if overexposed.) To water, lay flat and submerge the stand and bottom of the wreath in a couple of inches of water for a few minutes once a month. The moss will act like a sponge and suck up the moisture. Lay outside (If it's over 75) to let air dry and rehang. Bring indoors for winter months to protect from the cold, watering lightly during dormant months. Look up growth patterns for different types of succulents.) You may have to pop out a plant or two after a while to give the others room to grow, but succulents thrive when tightly packed, and the limited space causes them to stay compact and tight. Once it's just grown too large, place the ring out in your yard or in another container. Eventually, the moss will disintegrate, and your succulents will root into the landscape to reproduce and spread.
The inside of the box is lined with plastic, a layer of specially blended succulent soil, and stuffed with sphagnum moss behind a customized wire grate. Topped with succulent cuttings, it follows the same guide lines as a wreath. It must remain flat until rooted, but then can be hung on the wall. Watering is done by syringe lightly once a week, directing the water between the plants so not to collect in the crowns and cause rot.
