Grow a Plant in a Chest of Jewels

 

The jewels you see in treasure chest above are infact crystal soil.

Crystal soil is special type of resin which expands in water and is also a suitable growing medium for growing plants in! 

I found this amazing substance being sold at stall at Camden Market, London sold by a young oriental looking woman. I asked her the name of her stall, but she said she didn’t have a name for it! She showed me the plants that she had grown in the jewels, I was amazed.

Futhermore by the fact the substance started it’s form as tiny beads, then after being soaked enlarged into a jewel form.
