How to Make a Wine Glass Terrarium



HOME	How to Make a Wine Glass Terrarium You can simplify this terrarium quite a bit and you could just simply put soil in a wine glass then add your plants. But if you want maximum appeal and maximum health and lifespan for you plants you should use a standard terrarium set up like that shown in the drawing. Put a few pebbles in the glass then add a thin layer of activated charcoal, a thin layer of spaghnum moss, then your soil. On the very top of this diagram I have put moss. This is just for looks. I recommend that if you are doing a succulent or cactus terrarium you put a layer of sand. This is what Jenny did in her wine glass terrarium. The pebbles will accumulate the water. The charcoal will purify the water and the Spaghnum moss will prevent the soil from slipping down into the water around the pebbles and retain some of the water in a healthy way. It will keep it crisper and neater looking. This will also keep the roots of the plant(s) healthier. With an open container terrarium like this all of these steps are optional but this is the optimal set up for health and longevity. This picture shows the layer of sand at the top which is perfect for the type of plant. And one of the best things about this is that you can use some creativity to add little touches. Colored quartz pebbles, ribbons, a small card, tiny miniatures, or you can paint right on the glass or the base of the glass like this. For her terrariums Jenny used Gardener's Gold Organic Potting Soil Miracle Gro Spaghnum Peat Moss And Black Diamond Activated Charcoal If you came to this page directly from a search engine I have some pictures of these wine glass terrariums on the previous page here Here are some Amazon.com Resources: Complete Book of Cacti & Succulents
