Tabletop Garden – A Green Cappuccino

Tabletop Garden - A Green CappuccinoThis is my latest tabletop garden – A Green Cappuccino. Ever wonder what those greens are? They are not moss or some type of groundcover plants, bDragon Fruitut believe it or not, they are dragon fruit seedlings – one of those exotic, bizarre-looking fruit which you can find in Southeast Asia.

For better drainage, I used a plastic container with drainage holes. And in order to get the plastic container to fit into my coffee cup, I cut up the container and made some alterations.

Besides creativity, this part also requires some skills and lots of patience :)

    Very unique and adorable. And very inspiring for my very non-green thumbs!

    Very creative. It is so cute too. A coffee lover like me would be happy to see things out of coffee mugs. Btw, I found your blog through blotanical. Just dropped by to say hello. Have a great day!

    Hi Stephanie, thank you for dropping by. I love container gardening, not only because this is my only choice (haha), but because it gets me to stretch my creativity and find fun ways to grow plants.
    N Blotanical is a great place to meet other alikes, isn’t it? I like it much :)

    Cute is cute but what will happen when they grow bigger?
    Will trimming will made them stay tiny and small?
    Will try one of these when I get the seed.

    These are cactus, so I won’t trim it. These cactus will definitely have to be repotted once they get bigger.
