Cork stoppers for gardens in jars

As part of another curiosity closely related to cork, we would like to present you the so-called glass gardens have been popular on the English market for a long time. The last such interest was in the West in the 1980s and 1990s, when hundreds of thousands of them were sold annually. Now they are definitely experiencing a renaissance.

Glass gardens were created as a means of transporting plants over long distances by ship. In the Victorian era, when the production of glass on an industrial scale became cheaper and easier, growing plants in glass containers quickly became an extremely fashionable activity. The good news is that bottle gardens are relatively easy to create and don’t require a lot of maintenance.

To begin with, carefully fill the jar substrate with lava gravel and spread it evenly. Hold it at an angle and let the gravel slide down the sidewall, otherwise you may break the glass.

Spread the activated carbon evenly over the lava gravel to prevent mold. Carefully fill the next layer with vegetable substrate.

Carefully and evenly compact the plant substrate by hand, then use your fingers to dig 3 small holes (for 2 small plants and moss). Remove the plants from the pot by pushing them to the side and placing them upside down and placing them in the holes.

Press down carefully, but firmly on all sides. Place the tallest plant at the end, as centrally as possible, so that there is plenty of room in the glass for hands.

After the smaller plant and moss have been planted on the outer walls, a hole is dug in the center and the tallest plant is placed there. Then use your fingers to beat the plant medium down at the edge of the glass.

Carefully place the decorative stone in the open area and press lightly. For even distribution in the glass, the mini plant, moss and decorative stone should form a triangle around the center plant.

When you put the soil in, properly water it and equip it with a cork on top, the glass jar will create its own microclimate.

It works by recycling the moisture through the container, which evaporates and hits the glass housing, then as it cools down, the water drops back to the soil, completing the cycle.

While you will want to display your glass garden to appreciate its beauty more, make sure it is exposed to direct sunlight as the glass will accumulate heat.
