Materials

• A glass container with a wide opening (the wide opening prevents moisture buildup).
• Gravel
• Fertilizer
• Cactus mix soil
• Sand (optional)
• Straw (optional)
• Succulents (you can get different ones)
• Garden ornaments or accents like river rocks or iron birds (optional)
• Place gravel on the bottom part of the container: a 2-inch layer. The gravel provides drainage.
• Place the soil on top of the gravel. Cactus mix soil is recommended because it drains fast and retains little moisture.
• Place the succulents on top of the soil and ensure their roots are firmly embedded in the soil.
• You can add a layer of sand for decoration then use a straw to blow into the container to create windswept bluffs.

Create a custom terrarium

Before the holiday rush starts, it is important to focus on simple projects that will make the season more enchanting. This is one of those projects. You don’t have to have a green thumb to achieve success. Simply buy the supplies from your local garden center and create a delightful winter garden. You may even have some of them on hand. Succulents are ideal for winter because they can survive with very little maintenance. When you see your plants grow, you’ll be inspired to make more.
