I learned about bottle aquariums after experiencing a threatened miscarriage and premature birth.
Please tell us how you started growing plants.
When I was pregnant with my second son, I had a threatened miscarriage and a threatened premature birth. There was a period of absolute bed rest for two months. I'm bored and bored, and if I don't do anything, I get anxious. I was looking at Instagram, magazines, etc. That's when I learned about bottle aquariums.
After giving birth safely, when my second son was 9 months old, Since a state of emergency was being declared, I want my children to experience nature while staying at home. I want you to touch me, now! So I started a bottle aquarium. Rather than plants, it all started with aquariums.
From then on, I started to get interested in plants, and my number continued to grow until now. The children also became interested in plants and cherished them. We are taking care of each other together. At the same time, I am also interested in living things and raising them. At first it was just a hobby for me, but I think it was good for the kids too.
Please tell us what you are aiming for, such as what you are careful about when growing plants, the layout, how to grow them, etc.
When I thought about the causes of plants dying, I realized that it was water, light, and wind. When it comes to watering, I keep an eye on the condition of the plants, and I rely on Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to help with the lighting. Wind is a future issue.
It's not about growing plants, but the theme of my home's interior is "white and wood." In the aquarium, there are a lot of plant-related things, lights, shelves, etc. that are black. I'm always looking for something white or wondering if there's something I can substitute. Many of Barrel's products are white, which makes me very happy.
Rather than being cool, I try to create a gentle and soft atmosphere. Therefore, I try to choose white pots for plants.
The world of plants is a bottomless pit
Have you ever felt like you failed when growing plants?
So far, I haven't had any major failures, but I only turn the pots over once a month.
If I had to say it, I would say that the world of plants is a bottomless pit. It's not a failure though.
My work room has become a room where I can't work as the plants have increased in number. It is filled with plants. Also, it's just my personality, but I have a tendency to collect things. You want to get what you want at any cost. It will inevitably cost money...
My most expensive purchase was not for work, but This is an air conditioner installed for plants and aquariums.
What are the important aspects of growing lights?
Of course the performance of the light is important, but it also has to do with how well it fits into the interior. In my house, it's more white than black. The warmer the light, the more familiar it will be. I'm thankful that Mr. Burrell has white lights and stands. After that, I choose how I want to grow it, depending on my purpose.
Change the light depending on how you want to grow your plants.
Please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of using BARREL's growing light.
The good thing is, if you have Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi, There is nothing scary about growing plants indoors. It's a dark room on the north side, but there are four lights, which are brighter than the lights in the room. However, the brightness is not so bright that it hurts your eyes, but rather the brightness is gentle.
Something to be careful about, or rather, something I'm careful about. How to use Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. I heard that depending on the light, it makes a difference whether the roots grow or the flowers bloom. There are other differences, but this one was the easiest for me to understand. As for the color of the light, I think it's a good idea to change the light depending on how you want to grow the plants. You also need to check the distance from the light while looking at the condition of the plants.
For those who grow plants, please give a message to beginners and users.
I'm still a beginner, but even if I don't want to raise them... Even if the reason is that you want to decorate it or that it might be soothing, I think I'll do a lot of research when it comes to welcoming you.
Nowadays, a lot of information is easily available. But that's not all. Among them, the best for plants, such as location, temperature, humidity, brightness, etc. And above all, to suit your lifestyle. I hope we can find what's just right for both of us.
I also check the watering intervals and the distance between the light and the plants every day!
What do plants mean to you?
Are they children who don't need much attention? Of course, children who require a lot of attention are cute, but I look at them every day, I would be happy if new buds appeared, and I look back at the photos. I feel happy when I notice that I'm growing, When I feel like it, I'm talking to you. I only do watering, and when I'm busy, I tend to prioritize my family. Plants will take a backseat, but... my kids are cute.
