In this podcast, we are focusing on how to build a terrarium. Building a terrarium is both fun and easy. However, because a terrarium is a self-contained ecosystem, you will want to be sure to set it up properly the first time, making sure to use the correct materials. Take the time to buy a high quality potting soil and select the plants which will be the most appropriate for your terrarium.

Here is a list of the supplies you will need to build your terrarium:

• One terrarium with air holes or a glass jar without a lid. A glass fishbowl or a pickle jar will do nicely.

• Small gravel or aquarium gravel

• High quality potting soil

• Sphagnum moss

• Plants—two or three plants for every 3 L of space. Be sure to avoid any fuzzy leaved plants as they will hold water and are susceptible to rotting.

• Decorative accessories such as stone or driftwood. Use your imagination!
