The Desert Themed Lightbulb Terrarium

This is a wonderful lightbulb terrarium project that was made and submitted by web visitors ( Niels D.R. and Annelies V.D.K.) My thanks to them for the picture and the tips.

 

Desert terrarium inside a light bulb

 

Here is what they have to say about the project: I've recently discovered your terrarium projects on youtube, especially your idea of making one inside a lightbulb so I made one with a desert theme to avoid condens on the glass and here is the result . What I used:

  • 100W clear lightbulb (thanks for the tutorial)
  • -small stones for the bottom
  • -regular plant soil
  • -white sand
  • -small cactusses
  • -other small plants that don't need a lot of water
  • -small stones for decoration
  • -small candle holder as a "stand"

getting the soil inside there was easy with the use of a small tube positioning the plants without getting them covered with sand was the hardest part .

A Desert Terrarium

Here is a nice tutorial that I have made so you can make a desert terrarium inside a dish, bowl or planter. I recommend using terra cotta because it goes perfectly with the desert theme Make a desert terrarium This tutorial includes a video.
