Calling all young botanists! The Desert Hothouse brings the unique plants of the Earth's deserts to your kitchen, windowsill, room, or any other spot you choose to put this mini terrarium. Its pretty simple to grow this rare flora. After the children creatively set up their special desert plant seeds, a little water will start the growing cycle of these sun-loving sprouts. DuneCraft guarantees that in about a week or two, the plants should begin to grow! It is very exciting for the children to monitor their mini plant farm and also teaches them responsibility and nature skills such as how to treat other living things. Since the vegetation in this unique science kit grows in the world's driest areas, the foliage in this botanic set only requires watering 2-3 months a year. This children science lab toy from Educational Toys Planet grows over 25 types of cactuses and Succulents and will soon turn into a beautiful desert scene with rare plants.
