Description
It's been in there about 10 months now, and it's still not overgrown the bulb. Slow grower maybe?Edit: it's gone. To those curious; I removed the black glass insulator on the bottom allowing it to be watered and plants put in. Grab a light globe and have a look if you want to see

Well, the screw in bulbs look way better than the bayonet ones for the globe. And the plants...well make sure you have enough dirt and the plant isn't a fast growing one. I put one that grew to fast in another globe and well...it's a bit ugly.
Post pics if/when you make one, cause i'd love to see!

Heh, thanks. It's moss and a fern, but the little curly one to the left i have no idea. I think you're right, that one probably is a weed! But a good weed, it has tiny white flowers.

How did you get the plants in there? Did you unscrew the metal bit at the bottom?
That's awesome!

Summon-The-Wolves In reply to carpe-librum [2008-04-09 09:17:19 +0000 UTC]
Thanks!
You have to break open the little black bit at the bottom, but you can't get it back on the same.

Well, i took a blown light bulb and yanked off the black bit at the bottom with pliers. Then with a screwdriver i knocked out the middle bit. All while wrapped in a towel, glass shards are nasty.
Thanks for the love, too!

I am SO going to make one of these now! I remember my mother had one of those old glass watercooler jugs as a terrarium, and I always wondered how she got the plants through that tiny little neck. LOL

Heh, if you do, post some pics! I'd love to see this done with flowering plants or something. Very, very small flowering plants...

embieria In reply to Summon-The-Wolves [2008-04-09 16:39:35 +0000 UTC]
OOh... like verbena or something! Did you drill a hole in the end of the metal neck, or score the glass around the base to get it off? I know you have to have some way to get water in to it...
Very very cool idea!

Summon-The-Wolves In reply to embieria [2008-04-11 05:33:12 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, the black glass piece at the bottom has been yanked out.
here's a good guide:

But don't bother with the frosted ones, it's a pain in the arse! Unless you can only get frosted...

how in the world did you get the plants in the light bulb?

Summon-The-Wolves In reply to LimeGreenBean [2008-04-09 08:39:38 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! Well, I put them in there when they were really small. There's an opening at the top, where the black bit normally is. So i can water them and trim them.
