aquatic plants to grow

Simply easy! Seishin To-gei's new product: 'Growable Aquatic Plants'

Grow Aquatic Plants is a simple way to cultivate popular aquatic greenery for interior decor.

It’s a complete kit that includes everything you need: a container, soil, seeds, and even small stones and driftwood for layout.

Just add the soil to the container and level it out, slowly pour in the specified amount of water, then sow the seeds.

After that, place it somewhere warm and wait about 10 days.

Once the aquatic plants have filled in, arrange the driftwood and stones as you like, and you’re done.

It’s easy for beginners to get started, and checking on their daily growth can be a soothing, relaxing time.

origami

Persimmon decoration made with easy origami (with audio commentary)

Origami is something anyone can enjoy, regardless of age.

It’s nice to try making pieces you remember folding before, and it can also be fun to challenge yourself with new designs while referring to instructions.

Because the actions—like creasing and unfolding—are done with your hands, it’s perfect as a finger exercise.

Depending on the theme, the number of folds increases and becomes more intricate, requiring more delicate finger movements and greater concentration.

If you try models made of multiple parts, you can also develop your ability to visualize combinations and your sense of balance.

It’s highly recommended as a hobby for older adults.

Pressed flower making

How to Make Pressed Flowers That Last Almost Forever [Gerbera Lesson 1]

For both health and fitness, many seniors go for strolls or walks in the mornings and evenings.

Along the way, don’t you sometimes come across beautiful flowers or pretty fallen leaves? Since it’s a special encounter, why not try making pressed flowers with them? The basic method is simply to place them between thick paper, put a weight on top, and leave it overnight.

For plants with a lot of moisture, layer more sheets of paper.

If you laminate them, they can become bookmarks.

It’s easy even for beginners, so give it a try as a hobby!

Gardening

Shocked to realize I have no hobbies for my old age 💦

One hobby that soothes the mind is gardening.

By connecting with nature through gardening, you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life.

It’s also appealing because you can take your time over a long period, and enjoy a sense of fulfillment when flowers bloom or fruit appears.

Even if you don’t have a yard, you can enjoy it on a balcony or by your front door.

Try it at a scale that suits your living environment.

Another charm is doing it with friends and using it as a great conversation starter.
