3 tbs of lavender or rose petals
Method

- Store in a Moccona decorated jar.
- When ready to use, pour about 1/2 cup into your bath with running water.
Mini garden
Indoor plants have become one of the biggest trends in the past year and with people flocking to the garden centre, there are lots of ways to embrace indoor greenery.
Mini gardens, or terrariums, are an easy choice for any plant lover. With their low-maintenance upkeep, they make a delightful addition to windowsills, shelves and side tables.
Here are our easy steps to making your own mini garden:
- Clean your Moccona jar with warm soapy water and dry.
- Add some small stones to the bottom.
- Fill half of the jar with soil.
- Plant your choice of succulents. You could opt for one or a few different mini plants.
Handy tips:
- Add a layer of activated charcoal under the soil to help prevent bacteria growth.
- Make sure your plants are small enough to fit in the jar and avoid cramping them together too much.
- Succulents, air plants, cacti and mosses are great plants for mini terrariums and are easy to take care of. Make sure you read the plant care types carefully so you know how to look after them.
