Cactus makes very good tabletop gardens.  There are many species of cacti, some with outrageous colors, some with small yet flashy flowers, and some with weird shapes and sizes.  We can use cactus to make a very big tabletop garden crammed with various types of cacti, or we can use some baby cacti to make a petit tabletop garden as small as a coffee cup.

Ideas of cactus garden are limitless.  Just be creative and give it a try. I guarantee that you will find a lot of fun in making tabletop gardens with cactus too!

How to Make Tabletop Garden – Bento Box

Tabletop Garden - Bento BoxBecause I want to use a wider variety of indoor plants that have different water needs for my tabletop garden – Bento Box, instead of planting all the plants into the same soil bed, I have kept them in individual pots. By doing so, instead of watering my plants together all at once, I can pick and water only those that I find are thirsty. And the same advantage applies to fertilizers.

So, with my garden container, my plants, pots, moss, etc, I was all ready to make my tabletop garden – Bento Box!

The Chinese New Year of 2009 came earlier than usual, and the New Year’s Day of the Year of Ox fell on the 26th of January. So, instead of throwing away my Christmas-themed tabletop garden, I gathered some Chinese New Year decorations and reassembled the tabletop garden, and put together a tabletop garden of Chinese New Year theme.
