How to Make a Terrarium From an Upcycled Candle Jar
How to Make a Terrarium From an Upcycled Candle Jar
I have a kitty who's been peeing in my house plants, killing them. While train him, I still want green in my house! Terrariums seemed the best way to save my plants AND keep him from destroying them.
Add 1/4" charcoal to bottom of jar.
Add 1/2" of soil on top of charcoal.
Even it out in the jar.
Pour gravel on top - enough all dirt covered.
Using tweezers, plant the baby plants. I used 3 varieties, all shoots from another terrarium. Add water.
Put lid on.
Here's an established terrarium, from which I took the new succulents. If you see too much condensation, or plants look rotten, leavd lid off for a couple of hours. If plants look dry, mist lightly.
Enjoy!
