DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair Review

I am not a kid but I have a penchant for collecting weird and quirky items and the DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair is my newest find. Described as "a dark and remote lair for your mythical fire-breathing dragon" where you can grow Dragon Tress (I did not even know there was such a thing), the DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair lets you create a dark and mysterious decorative piece that will surely be conversation-worthy.

Interesting how most windowsills are decked with bright and cheery flowers or at the very least a cactus, the DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair is definitely different. Named "Dragons Lair" for its Dragon Trees, which are actually Black Dragon Coleus, the only black-leaved plants in the world. The DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair measures a mere four point two by six by eight point nine inches and weighs twelve point six ounces. It is recommended for kids aged four to ten years old, but this thirty-five year old bought it anyway.

What really got my attention was the fact that when you cut the plants, they will "bleed" (more on that later). The DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair comes with a pet "dragon", lava rock and blood rock. The great thing about this is that it requires very low maintenance. It will grow in a few weeks and lasts for years. The DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair comes complete with the Dragon Tree Seed and Black Dragon Coleus Seed. Creating your own DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair is easy enough.

Since the DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair comes complete with everything you need, you literally only have to assemble it. The DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair already comes with a bag of soil which you have to "massage" so as to remove the clumps, which you then pour onto the greenhouse base. You just mix water, plant, etcetera. Then you lay down the "fire paths" which consists of making a depression on the soil and filing it with the red gravel. Then you can create a cave for your little dragon with the black and red lava rock. Remember though that the plants, as dark as they sound, still need light for them to grow properly. And do not expect all the seeds to sprout. Give them time to grow. They can grow in as little as a week, until up to two months. Be patient. The DuneCraft Mini Windowsill Greenhouse Dragons Lair makes a great and interesting gift for kids as well.
