With this kit, kids can create their own sandy, dusty desert scene. The Desert Hothouse comes with a variety of cacti and succulents including the giant sagauro, prickly pear, Joshua tree, century plant and more. Easy-to-grow plants will sprout in a week and last for years. They naturally mimic the art of Japanese Bonsai. “Children can learn all about water conservation and how certain plants are more adept at it. This exciting terrarium also shows how desert plants have adapted to life over numerous generations,” PR Specialist Alicia Borley of DuneCraft told TDmonthly. The product received the Holiday Seal of Approval from The National Parenting Center in 2006.
