HOW TO CREATE A MASON JAR MINIATURE GARDEN

Do you have an obsession with all things DIY? Or do you steer clear of anything, even half-made? I am somewhat capable of both. I am aware that a project is probably not for me if it requires more than a few stages. That’s why this week, when I came over a fast and simple do-it-yourself project that exactly matched my passion for fairy gardens, I became really delighted. You will be able to master the mason jar fairy garden whether you are a competent craft room maker or you would rather delegate the creation to someone else. A mason jar garden is the kind of winter container garden you need if, like me, you have been having trouble getting your winter plants to grow outdoors. and you may enjoy it year-round, whether inside or out. Continue reading to see how simple this DIY may be. 1) You can make these winter container gardens with nearly any jar you have lying around the home. Just make sure the jar is dry and clean before you begin. I like to use a big, transparent mason jar with a two-piece lid. 2) After selecting a jar, fill it with a layer of ½ inch stones, pebbles, or lava rock. This layer is crucial because it aids in removing water from the soil. As gardeners know, drainage is essential! 3) Next, spread a layer of potting soil that drains well. 4) Now for the exciting part. planting! The little plants you choose should not come in contact with the mason jar’s sides. Plants like hen and chicks, jade plants, air plants, haworthia fastigata, baby tears, and hypoestes phyllostachya (polka dot plant) are good choices if you want to leave the lid off your jar. The majority of plants will thrive in an open jar with ventilation and a little bit more space to spread out. Earth stars, or cryptanthus bromeliads, are one of my favorite closed-jar plants if you want to keep the lid on your jar and create a closed terrarium. Just add a covering of moss and some moss balls for a low-maintenance small garden. 5) Spread out more stones or pebbles after planting. If the jar is big enough, you could choose to add some blue stones to create a lovely water feature. 6) Now that you have your plants and stones arranged, use your imagination to create unique little accessories. Select one to three modest accessories for your winter container garden instead of packing it full of items. You may include a fairy mushroom, a little sign, and a seat. alternatively just choose a buddy who is a forest animal and a fairy. You get to make the decision! To help with the accessory placement, I prefer to use a thin set of pliers. 7) You’re nearly done with your mason jar miniature garden! Consider adding a little, battery-operated tea light in the garden for an extra-special touch. It may be used as a detachable light feature by placing it on the pebble layer, affixing it to the jar’s side with a little hot glue, or fastening it to the lid with a velcro strip. Advice: While maintaining your own winter container garden will be simple, it does need some care to flourish. Make sure your winter plants feel comfortable in the jar by paying attention to these guidelines. water using a mister Avoid direct sunlight. Keep your garden away from radiators. Here is a simple, low-maintenance winter container garden that can be tended by gardeners of all skill levels: wipe the glass of the jar occasionally and rotate it to encourage equal plant growth.
