Have you thought about building your own terrarium? Melodie McDanal from Pike Nurseries stopped by Good Day Atlanta with tips to get you started!
Information:
Why a Terrarium · Terrariums are a unique type of container garden that continue to grow in popularity · Terrariums are great because they tend to be more enclosed and they create their own little greenhouse where the plants can flourish
How to Plant a Terrarium · Choose a vase or vessel -- Most people use clear glass containers for terrariums so you can easily see the plants and great effects with the layers of soil and rock · Place a 1-inch gravel or decorative rock at the bottom of the container -- This will act as the drainage for your container so the plants aren't sitting in water · Add a 2-3 inch layer of Pike Potting & Container Soil · Add plants to your terrarium -- As with planting any container, use an odd number of plants in your display. Most terrariums are relatively small so you need small plants (2-inch). Choose plants with different leaf shapes and colors for variety. · Add decorative rock, sand and moss to add visual interest -- Creating different layers of gravel, soil and rock add more interest when the container is viewed from the side · Add in other decorative elements to give your terrarium personality -- For example, small pieces of drift wood make it seem like a fairy garden. You can even add little decorative elements like small figures that you may already have.

We all get excited about leaving town and going on vacation, so we tend to tell everyone about it. But, a word of caution before spreading the good news.
