I went on TV today. On The Circle. Gulp! Here is what I made…
A Mother’s Day Terrarium
You will need:
A glass container (like a salad bowl or a fish bowl!)
A bag of potting mix
Rubber gloves to protect hands
A bag of small stones or pebbles
A couple of succulent plants
A few cute decorations (like little animals or other small toys)
Safety Warning : Be sure to wear gloves when using potting mix. Make sure that you don’t breathe the mix in. We recommend using a dust mask to be extra safe.
Let’s Go!
Layer the stones very carefully and slowly in the bottom of the glass container.
Put on your gloves and mask and add a layer of potting mix around 3 inches thick.
Remove your plants from their containers and remove as much of the soil as possible, being careful not to damage the roots.
Plant them firmly in the soil.
Add some stones around the plants to help keep them securely in place.
Add your other cute decorations.
Wash your hands carefully with warm soapy water.
Give the terrarium to someone you love!
Care for your terrarium : Keep in a light room and spritz with water every 3 or 4 days.

Playing pocket pool to your point of emission might be messy, but that is the attraction for several guys. They enjoy the sensation of walking about with fluid in their trousers; some further enjoy coming in a way that produces visible evidence over th…
thanks for the tutorial, my kids will love doing this : )
That looks great. I need to see if I have a creative side like that.
I missed you on the show, but I KNOW that you would have been absolutely brilliant as always! I am so glad that they have been able to show the rest of Australia your talents! I hope that I get a terrarium just like the one that you made for my FIRST Mothers Day! xox
