INDOORS Bring the outside into your home with a terrarium project that is fun for the whole family. Here’s how to do it. By Lyndsay Fogarty
STEP 1
Choose a container. It can be open or closed and any size, depending on your preference. Place one to two inches of washed pebbles on the bottom of the container to allow for drainage.
STEP 2
If you’re making a closed terrarium, add a layer of charcoal, which will filter the air and cleanse the bacteria. Open-top terrariums will get plenty of fresh air, so there is no need to add charcoal if you go that route. Next, add about two inches of light potting soil to hold the plants.
