Interested in
experimenting with the plant caretaker in you but lack sufficient space at your
home, then Terrariums are for you!!
Terrariums are fun to
make and can spice the elements at your home. Then fit in almost anywhere from
Tabletop to Dining table. You can also add your characteristics to the
terrarium by creating a fairy theme or a garden theme.
Come on let's make. By
the end of this blog you will learn how to create your terrarium.
I created a mini-open
Terrarium with a Tiger Balm 30g Jar. I have been saving this jar for some time
now. And now it has been put to the right use.
Things you will need
- Garden soil
- Compost
- Stones
- Plants
- Paper
- Glass Jar or container (Any glass or mason jar would do )
How to Make a Miniature version of Terrarium
Step 1: Cover the bottom layer of the Jar with
small stones or pebbles. I have used aquarium white stones in my project.
Placing the stones would store the excess water in your terrarium (acts as drainage).
And it protects your plants from rotting.
Step 2: Cut a small paper or newspaper according to
the size of your container and place it above the stones. This layer would
obstruct the soil from entering the stones and create a more beautiful look.
Step 3: Add Garden soil to your terrarium.
Step 4: Add compost to the terrarium as it would
add nutrition to the terrarium. I have not mixed the potting soil and the
compost to create different layers in the terrarium. You can mix them if you
like.
Fill up the Potting
mix and compost to one half of the jar.
Step 5: Add plants into your terrarium. I have added
Sedum Angelia golden to the terrarium as it has shallow roots. I have not seen
many growing Sedums in terrarium. It has now been almost 7 to 8 days since I
have set this terrarium. I find no major issues and plants look fresh and the
plants have fixed itself to the soil which is a good sign.
You can add any humid
loving plants like mosses and ferns. Take your time to research and add plants in your terrarium.
Well known plants that
work in the terrarium are Mosses, Ferns
Step 6: Add small pebbles to the top layer to
create a beautiful look.
Try these terrariums
they are simple and straightforward to make.
Happy Gardening
