how to make a
mini-greenhouse
Supplies:
Easy Plants to Grow:
- clear plastic cups
- marigolds
- clear packing tape
- cosmos
- garden soil
- sunflowers
- seeds
- grass
- water
- basil
- mint
Instructions:
- Fill one plastic cup with soil, until about an
inch from the top.
- Poke a hole in the middle of the soil and
place your seeds. Lightly cover with soil.
- Sprinkle with enough water to make the soil
damp.
- Turn 2nd plastic cup upside down and put
marigold seeds after 4 days
on top of the 1st cup. Tape together with
packing tape.
- Place your greenhouse in a window with plenty of the sun. And no need to water! It will
water itself as the water evaporates, condescends, and precipitates back onto your
seeds!
- When the plant begins to outgrow the cup, transfer to a large cup or pot.
