How to make a terrarium?

Terrarium was a completely new vocab to me before Chean and I unintentionally explored a store in Portland called Artemisia Garden Nursery & Gallery. If you're still living in Portland, you just have to make time to stop by this tiny little retreat place; all the greens and awesome terrarium creations will peacefully blow your mind away. It's beyond and I'm pretty mad at myself now, I should have bring my camera with me when getting all the materials.


The materials I got for my very first terrarium.


The succulents and desert plants, easier to take care and you don't have to water them very often.


Hematite sand. Love the texture and its shininess so much!


What's this called? It's some sort like a preserved plant to me.

There are a million ways to do this but I choose the simplest one. Hehe...


Place the succulents into the aquarium first, then secure them by slowly pouring hematite sand to fill the space until it covers the soil.


Decorate it with ornaments...



Taa Daa~~ My first attempt on making a terrarium!

This terrarium that I built is now with Qiao and Ying (Rocco's owners if you could recall), our super good friends in Portland. It's just a tiny little gift from us to show our gratitude and appreciation for being so helpful and sincere to us. Miss you guys so much!

Anyway, I'm so going to make another terrarium for my new house in Boulder! Chean promises to let me :p Will share with you guys then~~ That's all for now, remember to come back for more ^_________^V



Peace & zen,
