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
Air Plants and SucculentsDecorative Elements
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 4: Add decorative elements.
Step 5: Hydrate plants. For succulents water every few weeks. Air plants let sit in water for an hour once a week.Voila!!
