Want home appear more fresh and green? Yuk, dry garden design itself in one corner of the house!

The first step to create a dry garden is the determining concept. Should do a survey first, about what the atmosphere is in the object space where the garden will be dry.
Once in the atmosphere, can directly determine what kind of characters that will be poured in a dry garden design. “This step needs to be done so that the overall character of the house so much stronger with the presence of a dry garden, rather than disrupt the concept of home as a whole,” said Andie.
For example, home-style minimalist or futuristic. Dry garden should be more strengthened minimalist or futuristic house with special characters.
So, there should be red yarn. While the location and extent of dry garden is not a problem. The important thing is the choice of plants and other components.
Water Resistant Ornamental Plants medium
For plant species, should select plants that have strong endurance. Because the park was mostly dry in the house, so low-light.
Ornamental plants or pandanus fractures can be selected Bali as its main crops. While small plants can select the type Sansiviera or Bromelia.
For additional components, can use a shotgun coral, coral brush, or natural stone. It could also be a rock pool. If the selected concept is the natural style, the wood materials can be selected. “Equally important is the lighting. Placement must be precise, because it determines the appearance of dry garden, “says Andie.
Then, how about planting the media? In general, the planting medium is used to dry the same park with regular park, which is using fertile soil.
“No special treatment anyway. Problem planting media thickness was also not a problem, as opposed to a park on the shoulder, for example, “said Andie.
Noteworthy is the matter of maintenance garden plants dry filler. Usually several types of plants for dry gardens is a waterproof type. “So, should be maintained not to foul. Lack of light will make automatic evaporation decreases. ”
The key, do not select the type of plant. Cambodia, for example, is less precise. Therefore, the average flowering frangipani will not due to lack of light.
