Desert Plant Collection Mini World Terrarium

Product details

Create your own sandy, striking desert scene. These water misers are truly amazing plants. Succulents are a habitat for many desert creatures by providing food and shelter. Cacti store large amounts of water in their “barrels” and protect them with spikes! Both are used to make food, medicine, building materials, cosmetics and so much more! They will naturally conform to their environment and can stay small or grow huge! Cacti are a subset of Succulents, in case you were wondering. Plant Information CactiThe cacti mix contains some of the most beloved and well-known cacti including the Giant Saguaro, Golden Barrel, Compass Cactus and Pincushion Cactus. They store water in their fleshy barrels and are protected from animals with spines.Their unique structure minimizes water loss due to evaporation. When European explorers first encountered cacti they were shocked by their unusual appearance and thought they must have come from outer space! However, not only were these plants at home, the were and are a home to many desert birds, insects, and animals. Cacti are used to make food, drink, medicine, building materials, cosmetics, and more. They are used to make living fences, in religious ceremonies, and in cleaning products! Some cacti can take up to 25 years to bloom and make seeds! Cacti produce millions of seeds each, but only a tiny percentage will end of somewhere conducive to germination! SucculentsCacti are actually subset of the larger Succulent grouping. The deluxe mix contains well known succulents such as Aloe, Ponytail Palm, the Century Plant, and Joshua Tree. They are characterized by their ability to store water in hot, sunny climates. These plants are also extremely useful to humans and wildlife alike! What is really interesting about these plants is that they naturally “bonsai.” This means that they will only grow as big as the environment they are in will let them, whether it is a pot, a crack in a stone, or out in the wide open. As a result, the same plants can appear small or grow to amazing heights simply depending upon where they are growing!
