First, grab your a vase, bowl or another clear object that is wide enough to be able to fit your hand inside of it. The one I’m using today allowed me the easiest access to add my “ingredients”, but don’t limit yourself! Think outside the box.

How to Create a Succulent Terrarium


Another great ‘gardening’ post. I clicked on my favorite two links at the Weekend Retreat linky and both ended up being your gardening posts. I love succulents and got very interested in them last year, buying several of the small $2 ones from Walmart, 2 of them ended up blooming stalks that were 18-24 inches long… with dozens and dozens of continuous blooms, all from a little plant that was only 2 inches wide. I didn’t even know they bloomed, much less that the babies would bloom. Needless to say, I am addicted!
You are so sweet Stephanie! Thank you so much for dropping by π
Wow, I love succulents and I have not gotten any, I thought it would be harder than this. And it is just simplistically gorgeous. I know I need one of these. Pronto!
As long as you don’t let them get cold or give them too much water, succulents are usually pretty easy! Of course, I have a black thumb so I’ve kind of taken the long route…! I forget who I bought these from, but I used Etsy. I got a discount because I bought a wedding package of 30 cuttings (little ones without soil), but it was sooo worth it. Definitely recommend!
