I usually try to support local garden centers, but my Kroger has succulents on clearance for $0.25 each! Let’s just say I helped to lessen the stock greatly 😂

[@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide]

Whoa! Who could pass that up! Jealous!

[@BongSnay007]

New one here

[@BongSnay007]

@@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide New one here

[@mybahe1]

Wow!! Who could pass that up! I paid a small fortune at Home Depot... Yay for you!!🙂

[@helend6774]

I bought so many half dead, super cheap plants from Lowes this spring/summer and all they needed was some water and tlc.

[@anoukgary7938]

I opened up my Fine Gardening magazine and there you were. Wow, I was so proud!

[@megpoh]

I can kill anything, even Rosemary. However, I’ve had a Haiworthia for over 2 years (in a non-draining pot too!) and just removed 5 babies and they’re all thriving. Definitely my favorite plant.

[@BoojiePanda]

I've always felt that keeping a plant alive in a pot without holes is 100% doable. I just dunno how you would flush the soil/media of built up nutrient salts.

[@peppersander2457]

megpoh: Very nice, congratulations :)

[@eglemaluiskiene5935]

When you started doing the new arrangement I imagined just having that first plant surrounded by green moss. It would be like a magic rose in the terrarium 🥰🙃

[@anikehazel77]

Your succulent planters have awakened something in me

[@valeriehowden471]

This was like a bit of nostalgia for me. One of the first GA videos I watched was the, now epic, wooden dough bowl planter. I attempted a similar idea in a wooden salad bowl. Sadly the plants only lasted a few months - I mismatched watering needs - and the bowl is cleaned out + used for yarn. On the upside, my garden and indoors plants (I've given it another go) are happier that I continued to watch and learn.

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hydrostones... great for growing orchids in semi hydro set up... love that medium 🌸

[@lisawalters5482]

Mine never look that great. I’ve not done the hydro stones so I may try those. Also, when you said Mason jar, it reminded me...they make a pint jar now that is very short and squatty. I may have a few of those left. I put my homemade mixes in them this year. They are darling and would be perfect for a small one. Woo hoo! Tfs. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@TheManojcm1]

I was just watching that terrarium today and I wondered how it was doing and it's here 👍Very happy 😊Also I love terrariums

[@dianajean4837]

You're an easy to follow teacher Laura !

[@shellyroman1321]

I love that latest container! Very cool how the ball just sits on top. The arrangement turned out so pretty. Sedums are one of my favorite plants for outdoor use and I love that you used this one indoors!

[@ashleyseamans6747]

What a neat project for the ever changing seasons! The shift is upon us! Blessings everyone!

[@kitstah9741]

Good morning! 🌻🐝

[@shashiprajapati1595]

So pretty❤️.. also just my opinion the single echeveria with some moss would also look stunning.

[@monicahelland49]

Just added “make a terrarium” to my winter to-do list! Thanks for sharing.

[@rosahernandez9871]

Thank you for the time you take for showing us how to take care of our plants 🥰

[@lizshoemaker8713]

I LOVE that cement terrarium!! Beautiful. 💗💗💗

[@kimberlyschwochow8531]

Oh my gosh! I just rewatched this old video last weekend. I was so confused when I saw the thumbnail but now I’m super pumped.

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

Wow, I love that container! I wouldn’t be able to stand winter without my plants. TFS!

[@felixpuncrocoi]

That container is SO cute!! I think I wanna try this 😲

[@shirleysenkler781]

The shallow dish is lovely and the new one is a really pretty cement like look. Love them.

[@katiekane5247]

We've got an old, glass sugar container that the sealing gasket has gotten old & we can't find a replacement. Been thinking about putting it on it's side & planting it. Need to bring those sensitive succulents in anyway. Gonna look for hydrostones, they're just perfect!

[@-jurga-]

Your videos are always informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge🌸

[@rose2fame1]

Hi Laura, I like the colors of plants that you chose. Very nice and colorful.

[@Ladyiayia]

Beautiful terrariums! Love the tip of using aquarium rocks for decoration! Thanks!

[@deannededemarievogel-hampt9954]

IM SO EXCITED 😁, I got a beautiful container for my birthday, and I now know what I'm going to do, THANK YOU LAURA!!! You have such a way of making magic happen with succulents. God bless you all.

[@shannonholmberg8835]

Thank you for this video. It was nice to see an arrangement where only three succulents were used and I love the simplicity of the container as well. I definitely want to try out the hydro stones for a new succulent arrangement I’m making in A small galvanized container. And I loved seeing the update On the little glass terrarium. Thank you again

[@teresagoins6820]

Love that terrarium container!

[@yanafishman3467]

I find your videos so inspirational, thank you for sharing! I wanted to plant a few things in my front yard 2 years ago and didn’t know where to begin so I was googling some inspirational pictures and stumbled upon one of your videos. I since watched every video you ever put out there and have an amazing little oasis going on in front of my house. I have an amazing tulip show in the spring which is an envy of all neighbors, all thanks to your guidance and encouragement. I cannot start my day without watching your new video over breakfast. Now I find myself venturing out into succulent world. Again, all credit goes to your channel! 4 years ago I couldn’t keep a cactus alive and I have more than 40 different variety house plants now. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher and forever inspiration to all of us!

[@Kauaigrown17]

Wow 3 years! I remember watching that when you first made it! 😲 it looks amazing!

[@paulag.panzermd8239]

I really appreciate this update. The new glass container is fun in appearance. I bought a case of hydrostones, rather than a bag, two years ago (by mistake). I have a few terrariums and I forgot that I have the hydrostones. Thanks for the wonderful reminder; I have some winter projects to now think about.

[@seedrootsprouts2290]

I picked up a few succs yesterday and have a few props growing...I think I’ll put together a terrarium with them. Thanks, again, for the inspiration, Laura!

[@hoperobinson3506]

Good morning! I'm repotting and working on houseplants this morning too. coincidentally am going to garden center where I work today to pick up succulents for a terrarium planter. This was a perfect video for this time of year.😁

[@dianem7771]

I'm definitely going to do this. I love how pretty this looks.

[@ramonapatts998]

I love these type of videos. I just started doing terrariums and indoor plants. Definitely a learning curve from outdoor plants. Your impact on the gardening community is huge. The hydro stones are sold out on amazon. 😃

[@Elizabeth45840]

I Absolutely Love it. I put a piece of window screen to keep the dirt off the bottom layer. I am excited to make a new one. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

I just got a fresh batch of succulents! Yes I have stopped using gravel as a bottom layer, now I use the gravel for decoration! Loved this refresher on planting succulents in a terrarium! I do have containers waiting for planting! 😃🌿🌵🪴🌿❤

[@Talk2Barbara]

I’m in shock! Only THREE tiny plants??? Laura, there’s surface area still open. Don’t you want to stuff more plants in?!?! 😂 This was great. Really cute. I probably would’ve turned around and grabbed 3 more baby succulents off that shelf behind you, but maybe sometimes less is more. Very pretty.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Always love seeing what you can do inside. Look forward to more videos on houseplants. IDEA: Would love a video on how you decide to do a staging arrangement. Watch you stage things at the garden center and at home inspires me to try but doesn't quite turn out. Love a video addressing what you look at, how much is too much or not enough. Thank you!

[@tia1629]

Well Laura you have done it again. In the past few months I have purchased a Dewalt drill, espoma products, and a gorilla ladder. Now I need a terrarium and an auto lawnmower 😃😃! I am learning so much and having a great time! You guys are a complete joy and pleasure and can't wait to see the newest little princess addition. Blessings to you and yours and thank you so much for sharing your life and wonderful spirit!

[@pennywomack8920]

Pretty and fun ... and inspiring - I feel some new things are going to get created and displayed around my house. 😊

[@elevatedintuition]

Still looks amazing! Succulents are always worth talking about.

[@cynthiabouffard57]

Laura you are so inspiring. I've been watching Garden Answer for the past three years. I think I found your channel when I was looking to make a fountain for the children's garden I and my friend made at a Christian day camp my family and I were living at after we lost our home in a fire. We lived there for a year and ten months while our house was being rebuilt. I spent many a evening learning from you . All that to say a heart felt thank you.

[@HappyCats17]

So pretty!

[@jenmiele7304]

So cute! Love succulents! Laura, when you made the original terrarium several years ago I rushed out and bought several of those terrarium kits and have loved them! I have never been able to find a big syringe like you suggest, but I have found a great alternative - a plastic squeeze bottle! It holds a fair amount of water and it is so useful to water the hard to reach plants and pots because it is so easy to direct the stream of water.

[@dianamay3609]

I am so excited to try this!

[@tishfish01]

Looks beautiful.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Those hydro stones are a game changer.

[@kathynorris2371]

Beautiful! I love it!

[@bv3255]

Laura; Thank you for the inspiration. Every time I get discouraged I remember what a very cheerful pregnant lady is accomplishing! Did you and Aaron ever consider planting a small grove of short needle pine trees (with a windproof fence around the base) for a source of organic soil acidifier? I use the pine needles dropped (and they drop a good amount in the Fall here) around my azaleas...works great. You could mix the needles you rake up in the top layer of soil. And you could probably plant hollies around the base of the pine tree area.

[@DianeCee0]

I love love love these types of videos from you!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love the new one. I'll have to look for those aqua stones. I love making terrariums, I have one that's just moss in a vintage clear coffee pot that I've had in my kitchen for years.

[@suziethompson8440]

Lovely arrangement

[@stevendowden2579]

looks lovely

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I have never used succulents but after seeing this you’ve inspired me Laura to give it a try 🌺⛲️🌺

[@amylambert845]

Hi y'all, from NC. Thank you for the video(s) about succulent plants. I made my first fairy garden for my granddaughter and didn't know the difference between the stones. So off to Amazon I go. Thank you again.

[@Elizabethhhass]

Beautiful! Inspired once again! 🌱

[@synthiajackie2902]

Hi Laura.. Ty for the video.. I always learn something new... Would like to try this method👌keep up the good work .God bless u n your family

[@jengus1951]

I like that container!

Thank you for the update love the new one

That is so cool. Love the terrarium

[@kendallricker9633]

You forgot to list where you got the container you used. Very cool looking, thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next one.

[@rhondaburkhart]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@peggyshook6746]

This will be a fun project

[@tamaraschaeffer7847]

It's the Fibonacci sequence!!!! Natures secret code. The pinecone, the seashell the sunflower the Dahlia that's why we love it!!!!!

[@shirleyvastine9328]

This is good to know. I have some of my Mom's china bowls and cups I've thought would look pretty with succulents.

[@bethlovesthings]

Love this! Inspiring as always

[@snoywntr2]

Love it I’m nuts about succulents and cacti!

[@barbll000]

QUESTION: Can you tell us where you got that lovely terrarium with the ball top? Love it.

[@angelaleah4630]

Hello there 👋♥️

[@camicri4263]

Beautiful!💜

[@kathrynelkin1519]

Super cute😊

[@alexiatychkowsky641]

I think you'd have so much fun trying to aquascape a planted aquarium, it would be so fun to watch :)

[@ruthblack1996]

Yes thank you, my plan for this winter’s indoor plant season is to get a handle on succulent care; I took careful notes to do my shopping and installation. Only thing is our area Thrift shops are still closed to find unique planters. I’ll have to shop my house. Have you guys ever done a guide to succulents?

[@MeztliZen]

Planning to make two succulent terrariums for the animal hospital I work at. I’m gonna put them in fish aquariums. Seems fitting. Wanna try putting maybe little fish or lizard or frog figurines as decoration.

[@ginnysummers7018]

You're going to love to do that in the barn! So much cleaner!

[@michellesolheim9984]

LOVE THE CONTAINER. Where could one find it?

[@mybahe1]

Love it! Thank you so much for showing us this. I recently did a succulent and cactus planting with my grandson. I never knew you could tear away some of the roots that way? As gardeners we are always taught to try and not disturb the root ball of anything! So my question is...how do you know exactly how much water to give your succulents when you initially plant them? And then how do you guage when they need watered again? Some of mine did fine while others dried up and died...🙄

[@robingrunzweig1880]

wow, what a neat container!! you have me looking around my house now and think "outside the pot" ... really cute and fun... hydra stones added to the list!! and now project #, hmmm... 897,694,356??? thanks for the video!!

[@nicolechew1029]

When you pulled out the pump sprayer I lost it 🤣🤣 this video makes me want to go fix all my succulents from last year that I've been neglecting! Thanks girl!

[@lincolnbuttigieg4613]

good moring 🍂🍁🌻

[@shilohnelson3330]

Omg I remember when you made the first one!

[@mukumomkttt]

Every time I watch one of your projects I want to run right out to obtain all the supplies to make my own.

[@stephanieblume5448]

Although outdoor gardening is my cup of tea, this video (and others like it) was very interesting, and I love the variety of plants AND that container---cool! Thanks for sharing your passion(s) with us. --> Hey, did I miss you sneaking over to your parents' garden and planting daffs in it?

[@jeanbrewer576]

Great job love it.

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Oh my God I love that ceramic/clay terrarium where would one acquire it I didn’t see it in the link?

[@mckibean6406]

Brian and Tami Olson-Pelle I just found, what looks like, the same one on Wayfair. Here’s the link! www.wayfair.com/Ebern-Designs--Parab-Bottle-Glass-Terrarium-BHH54-L349-K~W001535006.html?refid=GX433574203381-W001535006&device=c&ptid=902876527624&network=g&targetid=pla-902876527624&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=86311519&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=679211706&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3K_wheL07AIV4AiICR3howGwEAQYAiABEgJ4qvD_BwE

[@maryfarrand1799]

Ahhh yes, the big spoon method of filling in the dirt gaps! I do the same thing!

[@robynjardine7236]

Hi Laura! Totally off topic but if you guys ever sit out in your cosy fireplace now it’s cooler I’d LOVE to see it up and running!! I’ve tried looking all over to see if you’ve ever posted it before but can’t find anything (you probably have though). Love from Perth, Western Australia where we are expecting 37 degrees Celsius tomorrow and it’s not even November 😬

[@VersatileNature]

Very pretty 👌😊

[@laurieanne9712]

The question, of course: where is your new terrarium pot from, please??

[@paulmcgenota]

I remember you watered them once a month from the old video and they are thriving. Can we use hydrotons (the stones being use in hydroponics) as a sub for the air stones? 💪😎

[@jillcochran9794]

It will be nice when you can do these things, out in the new area!!

[@dannag8178]

Your killing me here LOL! I need a link for THAT particular ball topped terrarium. Can’t find one with that base. Love your videos! Watch them each morning with my coffee. Thank you for helping me shift my Texas farming skills to Northwest gardening!

[@priyaskapoor]

Did you find the ball top terranium

[@LivingAlohaInPNW]

I’m wondering the same thing. Does anyone have a link?

[@lyndamello8857]

Love it!

[@judithjohnson2111]

Love this. So glad your warm inside. Need to get some succulents. I have a fish bowl that would be perfect. T.Y.😌

[@sunnyday7869]

😊Lovely!🌵

[@shaestrickland1599]

That looks like a little snow globe to me! I love it! I think it would be sweet to put a terrarium together with little dinosaurs/cars and ballerina figurines for Benjamin’s and baby girls room!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! The 3 year old terrarium looks fantastic! I really like the one you did today, too. Where did you find the terrarium? I love the look of it! I don't have good luck with succulents, but would like to try one using the Hydro Stones. Thank you so much for sharing!
