I made a series of succulents and cacti terrariums. There are two reasons: 1. I want to try different style. There are lots of wet moss and fern styles, and it is time to show some dry style. 2. This is winter here when is the best season for succulents.
I did lots of succulents terrarium projects before and this time I built them in an easier way so anyone interested can easily duplicate. That is why you may see I reuse the plastic pots.
Those terrariums are made almost the same way and they are various house shape so I put them all here.
The building videos has been scheduled on YouTube and the link will be pasted here later.
BTW, the beautiful back ground plants in those photos are (white Bougainvillea and Loropetalum chinense var.rubrum).
How to take care: 1. please provide lots of light. If you are using a growlight, please keeps it on as long as you can with the most powerful output. 2. please control watering. Once per every two weeks will be ok. If your succulents / cacti becomes tall, week and green (lose its color), then you may be offer too much water and non-suffucient light.
