Terrariums are definitely hot this year! Check out these amazing succulent orb terrariums Rich created just in time for holiday gift giving.

 If you live near the store, you can pick one up that’s fully planted. Or order the empty terrarium and plant it yourself…here’s how:

• Place a layer of small pebbles in the bottom of your terrarium.
• Add a 1/4″ layer of activated charcoal to filter the water and keep your terrarium fresh.
• Add a layer of potting soil (use cactus mix for succuents).
• Carefully dig holes for your plants.
• Gently remove your plants from their plastic pots and plant them in the soil layer.
• Tamp down the soil firmly around each plant to secure your plants in their new home. 
• Top the soil with decorative gravel, sand or moss.

Where to get the supplies? The gravel and charcoal are easily found at most nurseries or pet supply stores. Colorful decorative sand can be found at some nurseries or try a craft store.
