Here is a terrarium I just made out of a glass vase I had

With all the many things I should be doing, I made a terrarium so my grandchildren could visualize what they can make this weekend with any of my plants...........plus I have lots of frogs, etc............not the real kind...............I even put one in this one...............

If anyone asks me what is in here...........i don't know..............other than saying I just used 2 different green foliage plants, one standard av..........one mini av that is starting to bloom a pink.........one cleopatra episcia and one little frog.

****what I learned.......I used to many pebbles in the bottom and too much charcoal..........making it pretty thick on the bottom,...........i won't use as much charcoal next time.......but probably will use this much wicking medium for the 'dirt' and the same wet spaghnum moss. i watered with my crook neck squirt bottle............

sorry I haven't cleaned the vase very well.............

that light shining through is giving this poor vase a hard time..........here is the other side with the mini av..........

Here are a couple of aerial views........

I may have to go back and take a picture of the frog...........the cutest part of it all!!!

Very nice, as usual Gail! I love that Episcia ... beautiful color! Where's the little Froggie?? I can't find him!


Your grand kids are gonna have a ball this weekend! Wish I could be there to play too!

check out my baby frog.................

can't tell you how much I have to do between now and then on Friday afternoon..............have to quit playing with plants or we won't have anything to eat...........no more playing today!!!!!!!!!! (LOL) I think!!!!

Too cute .... mama and baby frog!

LOL, I know whatcha mean Gail ... when I get to playing with plants, before I know it the day is gone and I haven't accomplished much else!

A very pretty terrarium Gail, and a great selection of plants.

good luck on yours................there are both ways to plant............start when they are small and let them grow into place like you did............or you can overdo it and put the kitchen table in it as i did (LOL)

Gail that is just so cool looking. I love it and the frogs are adorable too!

Very nice Gail... you will have so much fun with your grandkids!

That is just beautiful... Are they easy to do and keep plants alive.. I would like to make one of those... What types of plant matter in the jar to start?
Thanks for any help.

This is a large one..........too big to ship............but I answered on the other thread that I will send you some good terrarium plants............
