Globus Space-Age Plant Habitat, Plantarium Garden Lab

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 kit has three containers (4.25" x 1.75" x 1), each with a different color gel and seeds of three easy to grow plants ¿ basil, cucumber, and tomato. Watch and compare how different seeds germinate and young plants sprout. Mini-pots and peat pucks are provided for transplanting plants when they reach the top of the vial. The Garden Lab is simply a great introduction to plant life for kids.
