Gel Greenhouses for Plants

Plantariums are life-giving ecosystems in which seeds germinate. The colorful gel's transparency makes the seedling and its roots visible throughout the entire germination and plant-growth process! Plantariums work as a mini-greenhouse after the seeds are germinated in a dark room. Once a seed has grown to the top of the gel, the Plantarium is moved to a bright spot so the seedlings can thrive. When the seedlings reach the top of the vial or container, the plant can be transplanted into soil to complete its growth. The kits are recommended for ages 6 and up. Complete instructions are enclosed.

The Plantarium Garden Lab has three containers (4.25" x 1.75" x 1) with three different colored gel and seeds for three different plants, peat and pots for transplanting. The Plantarium Garden Lab is a great introduction to seed germination for kids and adults.
