Step 1. Choose a glass container.
Step 2. Place a handful of rocks at the bottom of the container. This layer helps to shape the terrain while aiding drainage and aeration.
Step 3: Add an appropriate amount (3-4 handfuls depending on container) of miracle grow potting mix and add (1-2 handfuls) of pumice to the soil to allow for drainage and healthy root growth. Mix the soil and pumice to create healthy, drainage soil for the plants.
Step 4: Add a top layer of potting mix soil to create a smooth appearance.
Step 5: Add plants. In this terrarium, my grandma added succulents and indoor plants. The trick to this is only watering half the terrarium every week. I water the small indoor plants one- two times a week while making sure the succulent portion is dry. I thoroughly water the terrarium twice a month depending on time of season.
Step 6: Add a guardian for your plants. In this terrarium, there is a fairy guarding the plants against potential danger.
