Terrarium Directions

  • Line bottom of jar with a layer of moss. (this will eliminate a layer of brown water sitting at the bottom of the jar)
  • Add a layer of pebbles or rocks. (this step is important as it will provide a little drainage so that your plants don't sit in water and rot)
  • Scoop in and level out a thin layer of soil.
  • Scoop in and level out a thin layer of sand (optional)
  • Add another layer of soil.
  • Begin to arrange and plant greenery...here's where the directions stop. You can add artificial elements, stick with one plant of species or mix several kinds, add a layer of glass..the truth is, there really are no rules.
  • Mist lightly with water and enjoy the beauty AND the fact that these are almost impossible to kill :)
