🌵 Succulent Care Guide
Keep your miniature desert canyon looking pristine and thriving with these simple care steps:
Light Requirements
-
- Bright, Direct to Indirect Light: Succulents love light! Place your terrarium in a room that gets plenty of bright light or near a sunny window.
Watering Your Terrarium
Because succulents are highly sensitive to overwatering and this glass bowl does not have a bottom drainage hole, never pour large amounts of water into the vessel.
-
- Targeted Watering: Use a small dropper, syringe, or a narrow-spout watering can to apply water only at the absolute base of the live succulent roots.
- The Soak-and-Dry Method: Water the soil sparingly roughly once every 2 to 3 weeks. Always let the soil dry out completely to the bottom of the glass before adding any more moisture.
- Do Not Mist: Unlike air plants, succulents do not like wet leaves or humid air. Skip the spray bottle to prevent leaf rot!
