The theme for Urban Jungle Bloggers this month was plants and glass. And the moment I read this, I rememberd I bought a little greenhouse a couple of years ago. At the moment I did not use it, but I immediately thought how I could use this greenhouse for this month's UJB.
In the gardencenter I spotted these little plants, and i thought they were really cute. I usually do not like a cactus, and I am always afraid that Silvia will get her nose hurt in one of them, but inside a greenhouse they can harm nobody (and no cat) and they look super-lovely grouped together.
I placed the plants inside the little greenhouse and closed the lid.
They now have a place in the sun and I am very pleased with it.
Unfortunately, this palm was too high to fit inside the greenhouse. Poor thing. So I put it into a glass candleholder and now it still fits with the theme of plants and glass. I did not want to leave it out!
Urban Jungle Bloggers (here) is an initiative from Judith (here) and Igor (here), who want to give more attention to our indoor plants. I really enjoy participating in their monthly themes, because it makes me look at my plants differently.

Love your little greenhouse! It's so cute. I'm not that great with plants, so I admire anyone who can keep theirs alive. :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow, most plants seem to like it in my house (a couple of exceptions of course).
DeleteAnd yes, this greenhouse is very cute, I am also very happy that Silvia is protected from the catcusses! (not quite sure how you spell this, by the way, sorry!)
Kind regards,
Plural of cactus should be cacti? If I am correct :) I love such greenhouses, yours looks very nice with all the cacti. In my home it's the other way around - "normal" plants go to greenhouses and cacti stay out because a certain feline (Robert) is a plant MANIAC. They haven't hurt themselves to a cactus, ever, I guess cats are smart like that :)
ReplyDeleteCacti sounds right! Thank you :-)
DeleteHow funny that you have your normal plants in the little greenhouses, and your cacti outside. I guess your Robert learned the hard way not to mess with a cactus, and Silvia has not since I never used to have them. (I usually do not like them, but these small ones I adore)
Kind regards,
