Terrariums

After viewing a segment on The Growing Trend in Terrariums,  on Sunday Morning, I decided a terrarium, or three, would be just the thing to bring some life into my dinning room. 

For $5 a piece, at TJ Maxx/Home Goods, I purchased  three candle hurricanes. Loved the price and was reassured that if/when the plants die I can replace them with big pillar candles!

I bought 6 small plants from Home Depot and a bag of potting soil. I found it easier to pour in a bit of dirt, set the plants in and then fill in the gaps with the soil. I used Boston Fern, Hoya, small succulents and Peperomia.

I have owned this terrarium for years, and it
continues to thrive with a misting of water once a month.
