I saw these indoor grass plants and thought they were
absolutely perfect for living Spring decorations! I know that the calendar says
that spring is literally 2 days away, but I think that the calendar is lying to
us all! It certainly doesn’t feel like it (feeling like 2 degrees yesterday,
and all). This quick and cute project is a great way to not only decorate for
the occasion, but to also help you brighten up for it, as well!
To start you’ll need:
-potting/top soil
-grass seed (choose shade mixes if not going to sunny area
of home: Rye and Wheat grass are great, with thicker blades.)
-containers (whether mason jars, antique bowls or mugs, old
cans, etc)
-pebbles
-misting bottle
Choose your container and then add a layer of about ½ inch
to 1 inch of pebbles at the bottom for drainage. Fill the rest of the container
about ¾ inch from the top with soil. Sprinkle grass seeds across the top, and
then press them gently into it. Mist the seeds until the soil is until soil is
slightly damp. Place in your desired location, and mist until slightly damp
every other day. Grass should start to sprout within a couple of days. Once it
has reached about an inch tall you can give it a little bit more of a watering
every few days to cut back on the maintenance. Once it starts to grow in
height, enjoy trimming it at will to desired effect!
