Mini-rock garden, or the Garden on the rock

If a porous stone (pumice, limestone, shell rock, tuff) is placed on a pallet filled with water, it will begin to absorb water from the pallet and lift it up through the capillaries. This amount of moisture is enough for those plants that naturally inhabit barren soils or bare rocks. The lower part of the stone is cut exactly, and the top is hollowed out for planting holes. The size of the holes depends on the root system - from 10 x 10 to 50 x 50 mm. These "nests" should be made as deep as possible, connecting them to the inside of the stone, if possible. It is recommended to plant a bell-shaped unbiolet on the limestone, Uzumbar violet, Sedum, on the shell rock - cacti, Sedum, viviparids, kamnelomki, on pumice - fianus fandus scandance, Haworthia and hexinium-salt, and on the tuff - some nests, some nests, some ferns, some nests, some nests, a few ferns, a haventia and helexinia-saltulei, and some chocolates - some nests, some ferns, some nests, some ferns, some nests, some nests, some ferns, some hams, a havortia and a helexinium-salt, on a tuff - some nests; Mini-rock garden can be created not only on natural stones, but also on bricks and even ... In old shoes.

Mini-rock garden can be equipped on a small terrace. It will decorate your terrace throughout the season.

For planting in stone tubs or vases, choose low-growing plants such as stonecrop, young, and saxifrage. At the bottom of the tub, make holes to drain excess water, fill in a sufficient amount of drainage - gravel or small pebbles. Pour into the tub recommended for your chosen plants, ground mixture.

Place each plant in a suitable place so that the composition is obtained, close to the one that grows in natural conditions. Around the base of the plants, apply the earth well, if necessary, add more earth. Pour a layer of fine gravel or crumbs over the ground. This will protect sensitive stems from excess moisture. An additional decoration will be stones of various sizes and shapes - place them in random order between the plants.

For tubing rock garden, choose plants with the same requirements for light, moisture and light. For greater expressiveness it is better to choose plants of different colors, of different size and shape.

Do not forget to water regularly, both after planting and during the entire growth period. In containers, the earth dries out quickly (especially in windy and clear weather). Dry leaves and wilted flowers should be removed regularly, so as not to provoke a plant disease.
