DIY Terrarium


This is a simple, inexpensive and cute way to display your favorite cacti and the best part is they are very easy plants to take care of. I originally placed a mixture of cacti and succulents in my terrarium, but soon realized that because a succulent needs to be watered more regularily, these plants were not a good combination. When choosing your plants, try to pick ones with similar watering and light requirements.


You will need:

  • A glass container (I used a fish bowl style).
  • River rocks (any size).
  • Cactus soil.
  • Small plants of your choice (I used small cacti and succulents).


Start off by placing a bunch of the river rocks on the bottom of the bowl, this will allow for better drainage.


Now add the soil on top of the rocks.



The soil can be any depth that you would like, I filled my bowl to about half way.



With you fingers, make small holes in the soil to accomodate the existing plant roots and soil in the container. Remove the plant from the container and most of the old soil should go with it. Make sure that at least 3/4 of the existing soil is below the new soil and push the soil up around the plant while not packing it down too much.


Try to make sure the plants are evenly spaced in the bowl.


To finish it off, place the remaining river rocks on top of the soil for decoration.

Ta Da!

Place it in a well lit area of your home and make sure to follow the watering instructions that came with the plants.

What types of plants do you suggest using in a terrarium?

  1. My husband and i got Married last year and we have been living happily for a while. We used to be free with everything and never kept any secret from each other until recently everything changed when he got a new Job in NewYork 2 months ago.He has been avoiding my calls and told me he is working,i got suspicious when i saw a comment of a woman on his Facebook Picture and the way he replied her. I asked my husband about it and he told me that she is co-worker in his organization,We had a big argument and he has not been picking my calls,this went on for long until one day i decided to notify my friend about this and that was how she introduced me to Mr James(Worldcyberhackers@gmail.com) a Private Investigator  who helped her when she was having issues with her Husband. I never believed he could do it but until i gave him my husbands Mobile phone number. He proved to me by hacking into my husbands phone. where i found so many evidence and  proof in his Text messages, Emails and pictures that my husband has an affairs with another woman.i have sent all the evidence to our lawyer.I just want to thank Mr James for helping me because i have all the evidence and proof to my lawyer,I Feel so sad about infidelity.

  3. Do you need access to keep an eye on your spouse by gaining a remote access to their phones to access their emails, dating apps, location, Instagram and iMessages in real time? Then THE_POPEMAN@TUTANOTA.COM is your best bet. He helped me with a mirror installation through a .EXE FILE LINK that allowed me access to my ex-husband's phone remotely. I am glad I followed my instinct. I got good value for my money. That's my review. Jessica Harrison
