Step 1: Layer the Base
Start by adding a layer of pebbles or gravel to the bottom of your container. This helps with drainage and prevents root rot. If you’re using activated charcoal, add a thin layer on top of the pebbles to keep the terrarium fresh.
Step 2: Add Soil
Next, add a layer of potting soil. The depth will depend on the size of your container and the plants you’re using. For succulents, use a well-draining soil mix.
Step 3: Plant Your Greenery
Carefully place your plants into the soil, arranging them however you like. Use a spoon or small tool to dig holes and cover the roots with soil. For a lush look, mix different types of plants like succulents and moss.
Step 4: Decorate
Add decorative elements like small stones, figurines, or shells to personalize your terrarium. Get creative and make it your own!
Step 5: Care Tips
-
Place your terrarium in bright, indirect light.
-
Water sparingly—terrariums don’t need much water.
-
Trim plants as needed to keep them looking neat.
