The twelve projects described in the article below cover a wide range of different ways of growing plants in the home. This is probably aimed at people who do not already have a large collection of houseplants and are looking for ideas. Topics covered include terrariums, potted bulbs, hanging planters and kokedama. This comes from an article by Lauren Dunec Hoang which I found on the Houzz website.
Freshen up your home with potted bulbs, mounted staghorn ferns and fragrant spring blooms
Potted bulb centerpieces, fresh floral arrangements and botanically inspired wall hangings offer a welcome reminder on cold winter days that spring is just around the corner. Whether you?re snowed in or just hanging out indoors, here are a dozen ideas for DIY projects to get you started.1. Create a hanging window garden. Pick up a few glass orbs ? or better yet, repurpose Christmas ornaments ? and fill each one with one or two air plants. Air plants, or Tillandsia, require no soil to survive but should be soaked weekly in water to keep moist. Hang a grouping in a window that receives bright, indirect light.2. Make a miniature garden under glass. Create a captivating terrarium with a mix of small potted houseplants, rocks and moss. The trick to getting a terrarium to thrive is to keep the environment moist without adding too much water that it becomes stagnant. Unlike most plant containers, terrariums have no drainage hole for excess water. To accommodate some excess water, layer the bottom of the terrarium container with stone pebbles, charcoal and a filter barrier, such as a landscape fabric, to prevent the soil from percolating down into the pebbles.
