HOW DO YOU MAKE A TERRARIUM?
A terrarium is a mini indoor garden that requires low maintenance and is therefore perfect for people that don’t have the time to take care of them. You can use a wide variety of plants and place them in small containers that can go on desks, night tables, and other places where space is limited. A terrarium will add a bit of outdoor beauty and peace to any living space. • Gather your supplies (see Things You’ll Need section, below). • Clean the glass container. Wash it well with soapy water and rinse it completely to remove any soapy residue. • Pour a 1-inch layer of gravel on the bottom. This will provide better drainage. You can use a funnel or a cone of paper to guide the gravel so it does not harm the sides of the container. • Pour in a half-inch layer of activated charcoal. The charcoal filters the air and helps to prevent odors in an enclosed environment.
