Sideshow Terrariums!!
This past weekend we decided to make our own (maintenance-free) Emerald Sideshow, Emerald Jungles.
The act of watering plants can become a task when living life on the road or just living in general. To solve this black thumb gift we have been handed we decided to make TERRARIUMS!
Ingredients:
You will need at least one Garden Cloche or bottomless jug from Bedrock... $12.00
Pair that with a glass plate from Value Village or Goodwill...$1.00
Add a few actors, characters, or scenery which we found in mass at Value Village...$2.00
Succulents are the perfect low maintenance plant for the job, found at The Indoor Sun Shoppe...$5-7.00
Preparation:
Your first step is to pick the main characters of your Jungle. Tippy chose a giraffe, two chickens and two babies. Rayne found an elk, a deer and a resting white pony. Now, set the stage by laying down a small amount of dirt in the center of your glass plate. Prepare your plants by removing them from their planters and lightly separating the roots. Then, take your characters and toss them ever so slightly with your succulents. Remember that your jungle is a stage in the round so, make your audience happy by pleasing their eyes from all angles.
When your cast and characters have found their marks add a touch of H2O to the soil and nestle your Garden Cloche over the top.
Within a couple of days condensation will begin to build in your terrarium. This condensation will cycle through the plants and soil unendingly thus the low-maintenance jungle!
