Planting in glass has become more popular in the last few years and it shows in the number of glass designs now available for planting. There is however a caution before even beginning to embrace this trend and that is because there are no drainage holes in glass; the soil medium, care and plant choice are critical.
There are 3 ways to use glass:
• as an open planter with careful choice of soil substrate and plant type along with very specific care• as a closed system like terrariums, also with specific plant choice that will be able to handle the conditions in a closed eco system; and• as a display for root cuttings. This last one is becoming more and more popular. Propagate your houseplants in water and display them at the same time.
