how do you make a traium?

Answer 1

do you mean a ''terrarium''if yes read the answer below!!

Overall Things You'll Need

* Gravel
* Dried Or Floral Moss
* Glass Storage Jars
* Potting Soil
* Chopsticks
* Construction Paper


A terrarium is a miniature garden in a jar. Cactus, blooming plants, tropicals or a mix of colorful foliage plants are all perfectly adapted to growing in a sealed environment. Here's how to make one of your own.


Step One
Select a glass container. Large jars, compotes or aquariums are all excellent choices for building a terrarium.

Step Two
Lay sheets of moss on the bottom of the container. If the neck of the jar is narrow, slide the moss through a funnel made of stiff paper. (This method will also keep the sides of the jar clean.) Use a chopstick to tamp the moss into place.

Step Three
Layer large pea gravel over the moss. Once again, use the chopstick to move the gravel into place over the moss.

Step Four
Pour fresh potting soil over the layer of gravel. Use a sterilized soil mix made from potting soil, peat moss, sand and perlite.

Step Five
Select small plants that all require the same type of care. For example, use all shade-loving or all drought-tolerant plants. Never mix plants with different growing requirements.

Step Six
Remove the plants from their containers and drop them gently into the jar.

Step Seven
Dig a hole in the potting soil using your chopstick.

Step Eight
Poke, prod and position the plants into the planting holes. Taller plants should go to the back of the jar, shorter ones to the front.

Step Nine
Water the terrarium after all the plants are in place. Use a funnel to wash the sides of the terrarium as you water.

Step Ten
Cover the jar with a lid or glass dish. This step will seal the environment and create a miniature rain forest. You will not need to water your terrarium very often.

Tips & Warnings

* Some plants that do well in terrariums are African violets, ferns and hypoestes.
* Moisture will appear on the inside of the jar. Crack the lid for a few hours to allow some moisture to escape.
* Use very little fertilizer - you want to keep the plants small and not encourage new growth.
* Don't overwater. The plants will create their own moisture through evaporation. When the sides of the glass are dry and no moisture is evident inside the jar, water sparingly.

* Slightly moisten the terrarium with water (be careful not to over do it).
* Cover the opening with a sheet of plastic.
* If you would like to add worms to the terrarium, cover the top with a screen or a stocking so that air can get through. As well, make sure that it doesn't get too much sun (worms don't like too much sun
