5 Step Planting Guide
What You Need
Once you have your terrarium, there are a couple of things that you will need. Before you can start planting, you will need clay pebbles/pea gravel, activated charcoal, potting soil, and of course, your plant! Some optional items would include a coffee filter, moss, and/or sand.
Step One: Add Pebbles for Drainage
Place a 1-inch high layer of pea gravel or red clay pebbles (Hydrotron) at the terrarium liner's bottom. Hydroton pebbles retain moisture and release it back to your plants' roots as needed for healthy drainage.
Step Two: Add a Layer of Charcoal
Add a 1/4 inch layer of activated charcoal pieces on top of your pebbles.
Charcoal can be purchased 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 Three: Add Potting Soil
Add 2 to 3 inches of potting soil on top of the charcoal. We recommend using a good organic potting soil. For planting succulents, use potting soil for cacti and succulents. This soil gives your plants increased drainage.
Step Four: 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. Consider adding decorative sand, moss, or objects to your taste.
Step Five: Cover and Place
Place your terrarium top onto the base and place it in a sunny spot in your home.
