This is a terrarium inside my mother’s house. Here’s Minus Momhattan on how to make a terrarium:
I have been making terrariums for years. A small effort brings so much clean green during our white winter. An added bonus if you’re a fresh flower lover like I am is you create your own small greenhouse - I had a white violet that bloomed for 5 months last year. I often use an old salad plate (check out vintage sales) and make a layer of marbles - small stones work well too. Then add a layer of fine charcoal (think fish tanks and water filtration systems) which act as a filter for bacteria. Then add small plants, utilizing the soil they came with and spreading this out taking care to protect the roots. Vary the height and foliage color for the most interesting result. Tuck bits of moss on top and around the edges and use a mister to water. Many times I’ll top mine with cloches but large open jars work well too.
Thanks Mom! Now you know how to make a terrarium.
street style by all the pretty birds.
