Continuing my other post, Now lets build our own Terrarium. Given the medium of glass terrarium is limited in size and has a unique biosphere, the selection of plants placed in the terrarium must be equally appropriate. Some plants commonly used in the terrarium, among others sansiviera , cactus and succulent plants.

- Sand zeolite
- Soil humus
- Sphagnum moss
- Charcoal
- Rocks and sand
Then prepare the equipment to be used to create a miniature garden in a terrarium. The equipment used is relatively easy to obtain and inexpensive, that is :
- To terrarium, you can use a small aquarium fish, large glass bowls, glass boxes, glass bottles or jars
- Mini scope for cultivation or spoon
- Tweezers (Pin Set) or chopsticks

After all preparation is completed, it was time make a terrarium. How to create a terrarium is as follows :
- Wash the medium of glass with hot water and soapy. Rinse and dry glass media.
- Create a layer of rock or sand or other media at the bottom with a thickness of about 2-3 cm.
- Add charcoal with a thickness of 1-2 cm.
- With a spoon or mini spade, add media such as soil humus layer 5-8 cm thick. Make a little mound to beautify. If you use aquarium, you can raise the mound on one side as a backdrop.
- Dig a small hole in the layer of soil to plant roots
- Take appropriate plants, then cleaned the roots of the remaining land. Cut the leaves are damaged. Place the plants in a small hole had been dug and cover roots with soil.
- If you use a glass aquarium or a bigger box, you can put some of these plants in a terrarium. Place larger plants in the rear.
- Watering the soil, but do not over-watered. Simply wet the soil to become moist.
