Price: $59.95. The Water Jasmine, wrightia religiosa, is the material most often used for bonsai in Malaysia. It is widely planted as a hedge tree in southeast Asia countries because the wrightia is twiggy and is used for medicinal purposes. The Water Jasmine loves the heat and prefers as much direct sun as possible. It can be semi-deciduous during winter if not kept above 65 degrees fahrenheit. The flowers are white, pendulous, and fill a room with a very lovely fragrance. Long, green bean-like seed pods follow flowering if insects pollinate the flowers.

Open Terrarium

Price: $49.95. A terrarium is a small, sometimes enclosed, glass or plastic container in which living plants are kept for display. Generally they are miniature, self-sufficient environments. Closed terrariums recycle moisture with high efficiency, but they are more prone to disease than are open terrariums. Open terrariums should be lightly watered or heavily misted every few days and will do very well on a windowsill or on a table near a window.
