I’ve got a grand-daughter that loves to garden and my husband loves growing things too. She and her grand-pa usually does a planting project together each time she visits.
I thought DuneCraft’s new LED Light Cubes Mini-Meadow Garden or Mini-Cactus Garden would be a great project for them to do together. Since my husband loves cactus I decided on the Mini-Cactus Garden.
It was really easy to set up when it came and has been a fascinating experience to watch cactus grow from seeds.
These complete kits come with the terrarium, growing medium, LED lights, seeds, and complete instructions-just add water! It also comes with a USB so you can plug it into your computer so the Cacti can clean the air and even absorb electromagnetic rays. I put out LED cube in a UBS plug and have it with the rest of the plants.

 In a week we had tiny cactus sprouts! |
We took the circular growing medium disk out and wet it with water until it was soft. Spread it out in the terrarium and sprinkled the seeds and gently pressed them into the soil.
There are 15 powerful micro LED lights which provide light for the seedlings and plants to grow well and stay healthy. The switch on the lid can be adjusted to turn on the blue lights to foster foliage or the red lights to encourage flowering. Depending on what is being grown both lights can be turned on at the same time.
The light has three different settings and a timer!
We are growing a lot of cactus!
The Mini-Meadow would be great too and I think would be uplifting and cheerful especially during the winter months.
The LED lights are low-energy bulbs so it won’t affect our light bill by using them nor will they burn the plants. We are really looking forward to growing tiny gardens in spots around the house by buying more LED Light Cubes.
Be sure to check out DuneCraft’s brand new LED Light Cubes to learn more and experience the fun!
The LED Light Cubes will be available at Scientifics Direct, ThinkGeek, and DuneCraft!
