[S-series] Green-ing our living space with a terrarium from Floral Garage Singapore!

Hi,

As many of you already knew, we are still in the midst of setting up our apartment.

My idea was always to make it look like a forest hipster-cafe-chill-out-place, and having greens in our all metal and wood furniture will be really cool right? Of course I’m right.

Claire already shared how our living room looked like (please try to unsee the mess), industrial styled was it? All wood and black with white walls. So we actually went and got ourselves a couple of succulents and a nerve plants. These were indoor plants which supposedly were easy to maintain. But I’ve already killed one succulent which death was unclassified, that is, I’ve no idea what I did wrong that it died..

So I thought about a terrarium, I’ve read a little about them prior to this, they have a semi self-contained world inside a glass jar. The concept is simple, the glass jar will act like an enclosed earth and the ‘atmosphere’ inside will have its own water cycle that will water the plants itself. Remember science classes? Evapouration-Condensation-Precipitation and the cycle goes on.

I recently tested the theory too, we went for our trip and no one will be watering our little plants. So I placed them into a large ziploc bag, water them one last time, and zip up the bag except for a little vent hole. A week later, the plants inside the bag were still alive and look damn healthy to boot. So now we receive this chio as hell arid-environment looking terrarium with succulents and cactus. Well isn’t this the best kind of terrarium for busy adults? I read online you only need to spray some water into it every 2 weeks to maintain it. What the hell thats damn easy!

Now when I relax in our living room, I get extra relaxed with the mix of greenery on our coffee table. Its amazing what a few plants can do to your living space, as a living being I feel its essential that we surround ourselves with more plants. We’ll be looking for more plants in the near future. First we need more furniture, for the plants to sit on.
