How to make.

The first step.
Thoroughly clean the glass jar of your choice to prevent fungal infections in the terrarium. Then cover the bottom of the jar with gravel or small stones about 1-2 inches deep. (If the mouth of the container used is large, the liquid can be inserted into the container by hand, and if the mouth of the container is small, the liquid can be inserted with the help of a funnel or in a suitable way.)This is done to control the amount of water in the jar.

The second step.

It is advisable to lay a perforated net over the gravel. A disposable mosquito net is suitable for this purpose.

Step 3.
Once the mesh is covered with gravel, the pieces of charcoal prepared in small pieces on top of it should be laid at a height of less than 1 inch. Coal prevents the growth of bacteria and also cleans the water in the container.

Step Four.
Next, apply the soil medium of your choice to the plants at a height of 1 to 2 inches. It is best to use sterilized soil for this purpose. Soil disinfection can prevent the growth of pathogens such as fungi and bacteria.

Step Five.

The planting of your selected plant is done next. The plants should be selected according to the height of the pot. A small hole like a spoon is made in the soil medium and the selected plant is placed and compacted with soil. You can place it as needed. Now your terrarium design is done.
Then place the plant in a sunny spot. Always pay attention to the plants and soil medium.
Have a good day!

Thank you!
