My new terrariums

I set up a three new terrariums this week.

The second one.

Here is it inside.

Third.

Inside the third.

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am itching to get started, but i can't find any horticultural charcoal..........is it necessary or can I put perlite on the bottom???????????????

Gail, try going to a pet store. You can use the same charcoal they sell for aquariums. I even like it better because it's a smaller grade.

p.s. Rose, nicely done! Love your jars!

When I read the tutorial you had by that man and he said,
"Got to a pet store"..................i could just shoot myself..............i was at Walmart yesterday and they have aquariums...........bummer...........put my clothes back on and off to Wally World i go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

******My four year old grandson wants a terrarium for his birthday..................gotta start looking for boy plants (LOL).................if anyone has any suggestions, I am open to them ....................

i went over 20 miles to go get charcoal for my terrariums.......now I need a nap before i start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful terraiums Patti... I like em!

Patti, try HD or Lowes... those lil Angel plants are wonderful for them....

The reason i can't make terrariums yet is I like to buy for 2.99 those little Angel Exoticas..........and i have been taking cuttings all afternoon on manyof them..........can't stand to use all the plants at once or even in three terrariums..............when i find them like i did today........it will only take 2 weeks to root them and then I will have plenty left to use again sometime.............

And, today, I also found some of the larger ones..............don't want that............so just cut back and start over with rooting them............

I am jealous that you all have not only started, but started big!!!

Oh good gessie... I know when to go for some when I can't find what I want round here...my stores don't seem to carry them much so i have to make a trip to kiss the grandbaby & shop down there...

You should do some terr's and planters to sell at the State Show.
I'd buy em...lol

You are too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a professional...............just started on avs early this year.........but confess I have been gardening all my life.............propagating is my favorite thing...........when I get through with all my cuttings this evening, I will take a picture to show you how easy it is................when i get desperate...........i grow a particular pepperomia from leaf!!!!!!!!!!! They grow quickly..............

Hi Patti...

Love your new terrariums. I especially like the second container. The third container gave me an idea! I have one of those, and a new 'Unpredictable Valley' episcia that needs a "home"!

Karen

lovely terrariums, Patti! Congrats on getting them planted :-)

Thank Gail , Karen , Keyring.

Karen I am looking forward to seeing your terrarium with your Unpredictable Valley episcia.
Patti

I am taking notes on everyones' terrariums....................need all the ideas I can get..............

Those are beautiful! Funny thing is that I have a container exactly like your second one that is filled with soaps sitting in one of my bathrooms and I have been scouring all over the house looking for containers for terrariums. Completely over looked it! Duh!

Rose those are all really neat.Beautifully done : )

Thank you Cedarnest and Staceysmom. I am looking forward to seeing your Staceysmom.
Patti

Beautiful containers and plants. They look great!

Shirley
