Putting together one of these terrariums is easier than ever before. With a few simple items, you’ll have a gorgeous piece of art and color in your home in no time!
What You Need
Clay Pebbles/Pea Gravel
Activated Charcoal
Potting Soil
Your Plant!
Coffee Filter (Optional)
Moss and/or Sand (Optional)
Step #1: Add Pebbles for Drainage
Place a 1-inch high layer of pea gravel or red clay pebbles (Hydrotron) at the terrarium liner's bottom. These types of pebbles retain moisture and release it back to your plants' roots as needed for healthy drainage.

Step #2: Add a Layer of Charcoal
Add a 1/4 inch layer of activated charcoal pieces on top of your pebbles.

You can purchase charcoal at garden supply stores or aquarium supply stores. It is used to keep the soil purified and help with filtration. Another thing you could do is add a coffee filter, moss, or sand. This will help prevent soil from filtering down into the pebbles.
Step #3: Add Potting Soil
Add 2 to 3 inches of potting soil on top of the charcoal. We recommend using a good organic potting soil. A quality soil mixture will help them grow to their full potential and prolong the life of your plants.

Step #4: Planting and Decorating
Remove the plant from its plastic container, tease the roots gently apart and remove any excess moisture. Dig a small hole in the potting soil and place the root ball inside. Add soil around the base of the plant and gently pat it down.

Depending on the size of your terrarium, you may be able to add multiple plants. Also, consider adding decorative sand, moss, or objects to your taste.

Step #5: Cover and Place
Place your terrarium top onto the base and place it in a sunny spot in your home.
