In the 18th century horticultural crops in Europe is growing rapidly. This development led to the search space structure planting which can be used for planting in the spring of unfavorable or to raise plants from tropical regions. Inside the planting space is expected to be light, temperature, humidity dna according to crop needs.
The development of cropping space reaches a point of light thanks to the discovery of Dr. Nathaniel Ward is actually not desengaja. In the year 11 827 Dr. Ward, a London scientists, experimenting with entering a caterpillar into a glass bottle that has been filled mud, then the bottle is closed. Some time later he gets in bottolnya has grown small ferns and moss layer as well as conditions inside the bottle is moist.
No information about the experiment continuation caterpillars, but the discovery of the growth of plants in the bottle is revolutionary discoveries are constantly being developed and known as the Wardian case. Wardian case the principle is very useful in the manufacture of planting space as a container plant in intercontinental transport and to development greenhouse.
In bbotol closed container or system cycles water from plant transpiration and soil evapoporasi or media which is then returned to the media so that the conditions remain moist. Water cycle is relatively constant and balanced with the factors corresponding to grow crops were allowed to grow long enough in a closed bottle without watering.
This principle eventually be developed also for aesthetic purposes and in home decor. From here known term terrarium, plantarium, or plant case. Terraria is a container made of glass boxes. Therefore, the principle in the manufacture garden beside a bottle garden. Terrarium garden is almost the same as a bottle garden, which provides humidity environment for plants because the water vapor produced by evaporation of the leaves in the terrarium will soon condense and drip back into the planting medium.
Terrarium is perfect for garden lovers who do not have a home page. By creating a terrarium, garden lovers can create a garden in a mini container. Terrarium also does not require complicated maintenance because it does not need frequent watering.
Container of the terrarium is diverse, there is a narrow-mouthed bottle, but can also be a container with permuakaan wide as plates, wine glasses, or the aquarium. The next article will discuss ways of making a more detailed terrarium.
