these are so sweet.
And what special care will they take?

I hope they won’t want more than watering and pruning ;-)
if it does not work out, I toss them on the compost pile… and add candles laughs

I remember doing terrarium in a large pickle jar. Once it was planted and the lid put back on, it required little additional care. The moisture stays inside because of the lid and it stay sweet bc of the charcoal. The biggest consideration is the type of plants you chose for it.

What a lovely way to feed your addiction during this cold winter. The terrariums you created are wonderful, Gone_Tropical. Thanks for sharing this great idea.

I love mini terrariums .. so do my kitty cats (knock them over or rearrange them that is). I would not have considered using charcoal bits in the substrate but that is an excellent idea!

glad you like it :-)
I will keep you updated on how those tiny terrariums are doing. My let my ‘guys’ decide which one they liked best, that will go to the Raffle Table (it is the one with the fern pup). of course my son was upset saying he liked it best so we should keep it and if he would have known, he’d picked the begonia one …. silly guy ;-)

my son was upset when I told him the one goes to the garden club ;-)
now of course, I am stressing over this, what if the Raffle prize winner does not want it and it gets rejected? .... I am going to die of a heart attack one of those days, stressing over stuff like this

What a cute idea.Looks good.Even if the winner doesn’t want it I’m sure they will know someone who would appreciate it.Stop stressing (lol)

update: the mini terrarium was the hit of the raffle table last night at our garden club meeting,
people were buying lots of extra tickets in hopes to take it home. Made me feel really happy

I have plans to make a different one, with a base made of hypertufa….
