STEP 1

Fill the bottom of your container with your chosen decorative aggregate to help with drainage. We’d always recommend a glass container to allow for light to flow in.

STEP 2

Begin to fill your terrarium with sphagnum moss, which will help to contain water. Be sure to compact it down as much as possible, creating nice, equal layers.

STEP 3

Now it’s time to add your potting mix. If planting Cacti and Succulents, we recommend using a cacti & succulent potting mix or a houseplant compost for any small plants!

STEP 4

Plant up! Joyce recommends slow-growing plants such as cacti, succulents or mini plants which are less likely to outgrow the container.

STEP 5

Finish off with some decorative toppers, stones or moss to give your plant a contemporary look. This is where you can get really creative and create your own unique design.

STEP 6

Don’t forget to water your plant – especially if you’re going to create a closed terrarium with a lid! Water little and often and don’t let your terrarium dry out.
