Hyacinths in a Container

Which is the best thing to beat the summer heat? Obviously, WATER! Creating a water garden is a cool way to keep the heat away. Use water plants like hyacinths for this purpose because they do not need soil to sustain and grow up. All they need for their nutrients are water and sunlight. The great thing is you do not need a lily pond for this unique garden. You just need containers, especially glass containers will look nice, and a space that gets sunlight. So, create your mini water garden right now and enjoy the blooms of the aquatic plants.

Hanging Ferns

Staghorn ferns are a popular choice for wall garden. However, growing them on the walls, especially inside a house, will be difficult and challenging. An easy solution is to use hanging alternatives. Use a terra-cotta pot with a wire basket fittingly pushed down inside it.

Now, place a layer of potting moss on the wire basket and put the Staghorn ferns with the plastic pot they come on that layer. Conceal the plastic pot and cover the soil by adding more potting moss. Now, hang it from a window or any space where the ceiling is low.

Mood-Changing Small Potted Plants

A small pot filled with lush flower plants can easily fit into your bedside table, working desk, or even a corner of your small reading nook. Blue, red, and orange tropical flowers framed by green plants in a nice pot can instantly change the mood of a room. You can also create a rich and versatile palette in any small corner of your home by mixing different types of plants. The combination of three plants including moneywort, coleus, and fuchsia will be enough to create a tiny oasis in your home office or reading nook.

Double the Freshness with Double Potted Plants

Two potted containers on a small bench can easily grace the décor of your kitchen or living room. Two small old buckets or enamel milk pails filled with flower plants or ferns and placed on an old-fashioned or industrial bench will bring a rustic charm along with freshness to your interior. Pothos vine, moon valley pilea, or sword ferns will be excellent choice for this container gardening. Put the plants on a plastic pot and then, place it inside the bucket or pail. Take the plastic pot out to water.
