Hello all,
I've searched the internet high and low for large (12-19") round green glass jars that you see in terrarium books all the time. Anyone know who sells them? |

Can't believe no-one sells them online! |

How about the places that sell the big bottles of water for water coolers? Do you mean round like a ball or round like a bottle? This is from a terrarium planting fact sheet that you might want to consider before you buy your jar.... "Colored glass is inappropriate as it reduces light intensity and transmits its own color while absorbing other colors in the light spectrum. Red tinted glass will block blue light, and increase light in the red spectrum, causing plants to become leggy. Green glass should also be avoided because it blocks red and blue light, both necessary for healthy plant growth." http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/p...et.asp?code=44 Val |

Most plants don't read the books, I've been doing what can't be done for years ;) Try 'glass cloche' 'garden cloche' 'bell jar' for your searches. Good luck, Val |
