A DIY terrarium is a fun and creative way to bring a miniature garden into your home. Here’s how to make one:
Materials Needed:
✔️ A glass container (jar, fishbowl, or vase)
✔️ Small pebbles (for drainage)
✔️ Activated charcoal (to keep it fresh)
✔️ Potting soil (suitable for your plants)
✔️ Plants (succulents, moss, ferns, or air plants)
✔️ Decorative elements (rocks, figurines, or sand – optional)
Steps to Create Your Terrarium:
1️⃣ Layer the Base – Add pebbles at the bottom for drainage.
2️⃣ Add Charcoal – A thin layer helps prevent odors and mold.
3️⃣ Add Soil – Make sure it’s deep enough for plant roots.
4️⃣ Plant Carefully – Arrange your plants, keeping taller ones at the back.
5️⃣ Decorate – Add stones, moss, or mini figurines for personality.
6️⃣ Water Sparingly – Only a little, as terrariums retain moisture.
Maintenance Tips:
🌿 Place in indirect sunlight (too much can overheat it).
💧 Water sparingly (succulents need very little).
🌬 Open occasionally for air circulation.
