On a family trip to San Diego in November my sister took my mom and I to the cutest home boutique, Pigment, in North Park. They had the most amazing "build-your-own-terrarium" materials so naturally I had to try! I do not have a good history with keeping plants alive, so succulents are a great option if you do not have a green thumb:) I love the way they turned out. How fun would it be to have a DIY terrarium girls night? A little wine and a cute project....FAB!
Materials:
Open-face terrarium (I bought mine at West Elm)
Potting Soil
Pumice Pieces
Terrarium appropriate plants (air plants, succulents)
Sand
Decorative elements (Moss, Rocks, Glass)
Gloves
Step 1: Using a spoon, add base sand to the bottom of orb. Smooth.
Step 2: Scoop pumice onto base sand in the desired area for succulents. Add 1/2 inch of soil over pumice. Place and submerge plant into soil, covering roots and smooth with spoon.
Step 3: Spoon in top sand all over soil for coverage.
Step 5: Hydrate plants. For succulents water every few weeks. Air plants let sit in water for an hour once a week.
