What is a glass cloch?

Some garden plants, especially sensitive flowers and young seedlings, require protection from elements and a more hospitable atmosphere to grow well. Since the construction of a miniature greenhouse around each plant would be impractical, some gardeners create the same effect using a device known as glass cloche . Glass Cloche, also known as Bell Jar or Garden Cloche , is a piece of thin hollow glass that burns in the shape of a curved bell. Glass cloche is placed on a flower or seedlings to protect from predators and provide a closed atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide and heated by the sun. Moisture in the form of condensation can also be found on the inner walls of the glass Cloch. Glass Cloches also thwarted Efforts of many insects because they cannot penetrate into a glass or burrow under the cloche. The transparency of the glass also allows visitors to view flowers without disturbing the flower bed itself.

Traditional glass cloche has a thick glass button or decorative final for a gardener that needs to be used as a handle, but many collector glass rocking no longer has this function. During the Victorian era, when the most popular use of garden clips, many gardeners broke off the knob or the final of the glass Cloch, because during use it tended to act as an enlarging glass. Other heat would often kill or damage the plants themselves, which was designed to protect. That is why many collectible glass climbs do not lose much value if they lack a button or final.

The use of glass clips in the outdoor garden has largely fallen out of popularity during the 20th century, but many people still use them for other purposes. For example, a high glass cloche is ideal for displaying valuable dolls or fine collecting items. Some people use glassCloche to cover individual flowers shown as part of dinner. Others use glass cloche and plate of plates to display and protect a complicated dessert or decorated cake. Glass cloche can be an elegant way to protect fine objects from elements without sacrificing visibility or availability.
