Creative Urban Garden Crafts: DIY Succulent Terrarium

Urban gardening is a growing trend that allows city dwellers to bring a touch of nature into their homes and surroundings. One popular way to incorporate greenery into urban spaces is by creating a succulent terrarium. Succulents are low-maintenance plants that thrive in small spaces, making them perfect for urban garden crafts.

Materials Needed:

• Glass container or terrarium
• Succulent plants
• Cactus or succulent soil mix
• Decorative rocks or pebbles
• Activated charcoal (optional)
• Miniature figurines or decorations (optional)
• Spray bottle for watering

Instructions:

1. Start by adding a layer of rocks or pebbles at the bottom of your glass container for drainage.
2. Next, add a thin layer of activated charcoal to help prevent mold and bacteria growth (optional).
3. Layer the cactus or succulent soil mix on top of the charcoal, filling the container about one-third full.
4. Remove the succulents from their pots and gently loosen the roots before planting them in the soil.
5. Add more soil around the plants to secure them in place and fill any gaps.
6. Decorate the terrarium with additional rocks, pebbles, or miniature figurines to create your desired look.
7. Give your succulents a light misting of water using a spray bottle, being careful not to overwater.
8. Place your terrarium in a bright, indirect light location and enjoy your miniature urban garden!
