🔍 Terrariums are a great low-maintenance way to display plants in your home.

🔍 The basic ingredients for a terrarium include a glass container with a lid, charcoal, small gravel or pebbles, and potting soil.

🔍 Choosing a few low-growing plants with different textures and shapes will make your terrarium more visually interesting.

🔍 The first step in creating a terrarium is to line the bottom with a mixture of charcoal and gravel, which helps to sweeten the soil and provide drainage.

🔍 After adding the charcoal and gravel mixture, cover it with about two inches of soil, making sure not to make it too heavy.

🔍 When placing the plants, start with the tallest one in the back and work your way forward, gently removing excess soil from the root ball.

🔍 Moss can be added between the plants for decorative purposes and to help generate the necessary humidity for the plants to thrive.
