Weekend Project #1 - Terrariums for Pinterest Challenge. I love projects and Pinterest so when Sherry over at Young House Love posed the 2nd Pinterest Challenge I had the perfect pins in mind.
Dylan got me these great fish bowl bookends two birthdays ago and we've had little success keeping any kind of fish alive in them. (R.I.P Goldfish 1, Goldfish 2, Goldfish 3, Goldfish 4, Betta 1 and Betta 2 - you were doomed from the start without names.) One day it suddenly dawned on me that they could be terrariums! They don't have lids, so mossy dioramas were out of the question, but after a little searching I found that succulents would be perfect.Pinspiration for my project: Choosing Terrarium Plants. When choosing terrarium plants, make sure they are small enough to fit in your container, preferably without touching the sides.
You'll also want to buy plants that don’t mind a humid environment. This leaves out most succulents and cactus. However, if you have your heart set on succulents, you can make beautiful terrariums with these plants, but you will want to make a topless terrarium and add clean, course sand to your potting mix. When considering terrarium plants, look for plants that like low to medium light. StickOnPods helps you organize and store your cosmetics.
