Sisters and Terrariums



Shrooms in a Jar
My sister Kelsey has been really interested in making terrariums for the past year and we finally made this dream a reality. Full disclosure, we have no idea how to ensure succulents stay alive, but after watching videos of experienced gardeners ripping these plants apart and shoving them into the soil - we suspect they are hardy.

The process of creating these fun little worlds was actually really simple, but requires a few supplies;
  • Glass container you like
  • Charcoal
  • Potting soil mixed with sand
  • Plants
  • Figurines ( not optional - without them your terrarium is just a plant steaming up a glass container)
  • Moss (Optional)

Kelsey's Rhino and Rock Cacti Terrarium
After layering the sand charcoal and potting soil (mixed with sand) we were ready to plant these cacti. Finally we added the pièce de résistance these gorgeous litte mushrooms which we created with FIMO baked and then painted. If we make them again (and we will) we would make the mushroom stems a bit longer to ensure they sit above the soil.
