Steps
-
Place a thin layer of pebbles at the bottom of the jam jar: they provide better aeration for the soil and prevent the roots of the plants from being constantly submerged in water. Add some potting soil.
-
Moisten the potting soil using the spray bottle.
-
Plant the small plants by gently exposing their roots and filling in with moist potting soil.
-
Decorate with a few wooden chips.
-
Decorate the small sign.
-
Glue the wooden stick to the back of the sign with hot glue to create a small standing sign.
-
Close the terrarium and attach the sign with the jute twine.

Here is a list of small green plants that could fit in the terrarium: Fittonia, succulents, small ferns, asparagus. If too much moisture builds up on the walls of the terrarium, simply open it for a few hours to let the ecosystem regulate itself.
