How to make it ?
Step 1
Cover the bottom of your terrarium with a 1 ½ inch-thick layer of small stones or pebbles.
The bottom layer of small pebbles will act as drainage for your terrarium.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add your plants.
Start by planting your largest plant first. Remove the plant from its container and prune the roots as you would when repotting any plant.
Then, make a hole in the soil large enough to fit the plants’ roots.
Step 2
Add a very thin layer of activated charcoal.
The activated charcoal will keep water fresh and fight off any bacterial growth in your terrarium
Step 5
After all of your plants are arranged in your glass vessel, complete the look with a layer of pebbles.
Step 3
Add a layer of potting soil.
You’ll want to add enough potting soil so that it’s deep enough for your plants to root into it.
.
Here you are!
You have build your own little wonderful glass gardens and good news: it requires very little maintenance !

About
Terra Factory offers autonomous plant compositions, a sustainable alternative to ephemeral bouquets and classic houseplants, halfway between the world of decoration and that of plants. Our objective was to balance urban life (often breathless) by greening the living and working environment, without necessarily having a green thumb and being available to take care of it.
