What container did you use? I’m assuming no holes in bottom? How do you deal with water pooling? Just careful watering? Considering doing this in my house it’s so gorgeous😍

It is a plant table with a drain at the bottom. I haven't need to use the drain yet. I try not to soak it, just keep the peat moss moist. I may have an issue later with the peat moss becoming to acidic so I would recommend mix something else in there. It a new planting, been going for about six weeks.

I had heard of people making them all out of old cabinets with glass doors. The plant table I have was probably purchased in the 60s or 70s.I inherited it from another teacher on. It was probably bought from a science.Supply for classrooms back in the sixties or seventies. You could probably make your own.I'm going to include some pictures of the setups.I have in my classroom to give me some ideas..  
Probably bought from a science supply for schools period.
