A while back I made some fake terrariums, but I have wanted to buy some real succulents forever so I finally decided to go for it.
First get some clear glass containers. Succulents need open containers because they prefer less humidity and drier soil. If you want a closed terrarium then you need to research what types of plants would thrive in a more humid environment.
Add pebbles or something so there is good drainage.
Then add activated carbon to keep it smelling fresh. This is probably more important with a closed terrarium but I did it anyway.
I then put in a layer of moss to try to keep the soil from sifting down to the bottom.
Last add soil and succulents.
I'm excited to see if this works!
I couldn't fit all four succulents in the glass containers so I put this one in a flower pot by itself.
Let me know how it goes because I was thinking of putting some plants in my classroom next year and thought succulents would be good (low maintenance).
