I was wondering where I purchase the plants and charcol. Also this is a project to do with my 9 year old grand daughter can I use colorful aquarium gravel for the bottom stones?

Thanks for this nice tutorial! I am going to get the items together, place them on a tray with saran and a big red bow and give it to my daughter (who LOVES plants) for Christmas. Also....I love your profile pic. SO cute!!!

In reply to Pam. We had one of those too! Got it as a wedding gift in 1980!! Big round ball thing on a mod white pedestal. I've tried terrariums over the years and they never do well. Look good to start, then everything gets moldy, even if I don't water it. I gave it up!

This is such a great idea. I might have to make one of these to satisfy my gardening cravings until spring arrives!

My daughters both love houseplants and terrariums and I think this is just so informative that I'll share with them!

In reply to Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces. My mom had a HUGE one that sat on a pedestal. Very 1970's looking! I kept thinking of that when I was making this one.

In reply to Naomi S. I just put the soil in the jar straight out of the bag. When I popped the plants out of their little pots they came in their surrounding soil was still moist though and most of that went into their "hole" in the dirt with them. And then I spritzed the whole thing after I was done planting. So just make sure the plants you buy are not bone dry when you put them in there, give them a good misting and you should be fine!
