How to make a Succulent Terrarium garden

My Son and I wanted to make a special gift for Father’s Day and we experimented to create a mini garden and in today’s post, I’m sharing with you ‘How to make a Succulent Terrarium garden’.

What you need:

• Clear glass container.
• Rocks (tiny ones, depending on the size of container)
• Charcoal to filter the water and help prevent growth of fungi
• Potting Soil
• Succulent (that aren’t going to grow too big for the container)

Optional:

• Sand or Moss
• Pebbles
• Fun decor

Start with a layer of rocks at the bottom of your container. These will help the soil drainage, so the roots of your plants won’t get water-logged.

Add a layer of charcoal

Now layer the container with potting soil and plant the succulents. Arrange them to look nice. Pat down the soil so they don’t get uprooted easily.

Add a layer of fine sand or moss and embellish with decorative pebbles, shells, or fun decor to make your terrarium look like a little garden world.

We used pebbles and buttons to make it a Fairy Garden!

Water the plants just adequately and  place your terrarium garden in indirect light.

This Father’s Day, make your Dad a terrarium garden that he can use as a table centerpiece or simply to brighten up his house or office.
