Little Bytes – Bringing the Garden In

by Susan | Mar 10, 2014 | LB Tutorial: Container Gardening, Little Bytes

Here is a quick garden house Byte…

My local nursery has some great things in the green house and I recently picked out this sarracenia Flava from Courting Frogs Nursery. Use this quick tutorial to bring the garden indoors as we wait for our plants to wake up outside.

Here’s what you need:

>A container – This hurricane glass is from my collection but you can find them at your local craft store (I use hurricane glasses for MANY things as you will see).

>Preserved reindeer moss (I wanted a color that was exactly the same color as the blosom, also from the nursery)

>Beautiful plant to show off

First, I placed a thin cushion of the moss under the pot inside the hurricane lamp. Then, after I pulled the tags off the pot and placed it in the container, I packed the moss around the edges. This beautiful container can go inside or outside. I like to use it inside then put it outside when the weather warms. It likes constant moisture so putting it in the hurricane glass it can have water up the sides of the pot.

Here is the final result.  This also makes a great unusual and fun gift.  Such a great way to share your love of gardening with non-gardeners.

What do you have growing inside right now?
