Terrariums are perfect desk accessories and make great gifts! They look amazing anywhere – in the office, bedroom, washroom; you name it!
These mini gardens are super easy to make and comes in whichever shape you want! They don’t even require much care except for a tablespoon of water every 6 months to 1 year. Talk about low maintenance!
And by the way, you don’t have to be a florist to make gorgeous terrariums. Just follow these simple steps!
Here are the items you will need (clockwise starting from bottom left): Small gravel, Potting soil, Mini plants, Decorative pebbles, Charcoal, Mason jar.
Step 1: Add gravel
These tiny gravels are laid at the bottom of the mason jar to provide drainage for the water in the terrarium!
Step 2: Add charcoal
For closed terrariums, a layer of charcoal must be placed on top of the gravel to get rid of the odour and keep the air fresh! There won’t be a need for charcoal if you’re working with an open-top terrarium.
Step 3: Add potting soil (and create a hole big enough for your baby plants!)
Step 4: Put your plants in and cover up the hole with a spatula
Step 5: Decorate your terrarium with colourful pebbles
Step 6: Give your terrarium some good company!
And… VOILA!
Tip: Do not place your terrarium near the window or under direct sunlight. Indoor light is sufficient as direct sunlight will cause heat to build up in the enclosed terrarium!
