There is a beautiful nursery here in Portland that has tons terrariums that I have been ogling over. The problem is that because they are so beautiful they are a bit expensive. Since I am cheap my typical response is…I could make that!
So I did!
So, I have learned it is super easy. The main thing to remember is that you should plant plants of similar light and water needs together. Also, you need to put a layer of charcoal on the bottom for nutrients.
I found some horticultural charcoal at Fred Meyer, Potting soil in some empty flower pots, aquarium gravel left over from some other project, and some vases I already had. I did buy some beautiful plants from the nursery to put in the terrariums.
Here is what you do.
1. Put a layer of charcoal on the bottom of the vase
2. Put a larger layer of soil, deep enough for the plant roots to grow.
3. Plant the plants into the dirt in the vase.
4. Put a layer of small gravel or rocks on top to make it look pretty.
5. Enjoy!
This is an air plant! How Cool!
