Shirley Bovshow
It's time to get your green on indoors with garden coach Shirley Bovshow. Shirley shows Mark & Paige the ins and outs of making a terrarium. With orchids, air plants, or even a Venus flytrap, Shirley uses basic glass containers to create beautiful indoor ecosystems.
Shirley's simple tips for making a terrarium: 1. Use any glass container, open or closed. 2. Create Proper Drainage: A layer of fine/pea gravel mixed with horticultural charcoal will help absurd water and prevent fungus growth. 3. Select small plants: There are a lot of small, slow growing plants that are perfect for indoor terrariums. Plants that like shade and moisture such as violets and polka dot plants can work great in your terrarium. Check your local plant center for more details on these tips of plants. 4. Be creative: Decorations like shells, marbles, and stones can add a fabulous touch to any terrarium and can make this a project that's fun for the whole family.
