When a terrarium is overcrowded, the plants cannot grow to their full potential. Best practice is to repot the plants into new bigger containers. This terrarium was glass, so we had to use a hammer to break the glass and remove the plants!
Special soil for cacti and succulent plants (called Cactus Mix) is not too dense, so the water can drain out and the roots do not drown.
We carefully removed the glass bits that were stuck in the roots and soil before repotting.
Since all of us are working from home or learning from home, why not share stories about our home gardens? I’ll start.
This glass terrarium is the only garden we have in the house. In fact, there are no other plants anywhere except for inside that. We bought it pre-made from Costco (!) last year, and it has been thriving ever since. There are four spiky cactus plants, and a bigger, more classic-looking cactus in the back.
There are other plants in there, too.
Cactus-type plants are pretty forgiving — there are weeks when we forget to water it — and love sunlight. I recommend them for home-gardeners that have not had luck with other plants.
