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

[@rhiallen9244]

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

[@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.

[@kitstah9741]

Good morning! 🌻🐝

[@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

[@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.

[@naomidaum8277]

Very nice! God's creations are so peaceful and beautiful.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@NinjaOrchids]

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

[@dianajean4837]

You're an easy to follow teacher Laura !

[@shashiprajapati1595]

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

[@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?

[@ashleyseamans6747]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@monicahelland49]

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

[@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.

[@laurieanne9712]

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

[@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!

[@michellesolheim9984]

LOVE THE CONTAINER. Where could one find it?

[@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.

[@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.

[@teresagoins6820]

Love that terrarium container!

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@angelaleah4630]

Hello there 👋♥️

[@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 😬

[@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.

[@alexiatychkowsky641]

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

[@AT-jm4dl]

I find from experience that the rosette-shaped echeverias need good air flow in addition to good light to maintain their shape and color, so I don't think they're good candidates for terrariums.

[@tamaraschaeffer7847]

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

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Those hydro stones are a game changer.

[@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!

[@indoorIvan]

Thank you for addressing the gravel at the bottom of containers! I find that people are so used to it, that when I potted plants for customers it was a must 😑

[@aliciagalgano1582]

Love all your videos guys. Really! Look forward to them everyday. If you wouldnt mind a little advice. Is anyone is like me, we are watching and enjoying and then suddenly it’s over and you are saying “see you in the next one” and I don’t have enough time to like the video before the next one is queued. I always go back. But maybe have a longer outro or screen with all your platforms etc. It would give us slower to respond people more time to like. 😂

[@jengus1951]

I like that container!

[@dianamay3609]

I am so excited to try this!

[@dianeweeks352]

That explanation of the water being higher than the gravel relates to why gravel should NOT be used in potted plants. It raises the water table. This is a very misunderstood concept. People think that gravel in the bottom helps drainage when it does not. It actually makes drainage worse. Keep saying it. Growing A Greener World has tested and proved it in their videos.

[@penney315]

Jim Putnam from Horttube describes that bottom soil layer as the kill zone and it makes perfect sense! You want the kill zone as low as possible so adding gravel only raises the kill zone.

[@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?

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

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

[@tishfish01]

Looks beautiful.

[@rosahernandez9871]

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

[@viridianasoriano3703]

Thank you for the update love the new one

[@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! 😃🌿🌵🪴🌿❤

[@HappyCats17]

So pretty!

[@dianem7771]

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

[@elevatedintuition]

Still looks amazing! Succulents are always worth talking about.

[@shirleysenkler781]

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

[@Kauaigrown17]

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

[@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. 😃

[@stevendowden2579]

looks lovely

[@pennywomack8920]

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

[@kathynorris2371]

Beautiful! I love it!

[@Ladyiayia]

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

[@suziethompson8440]

Lovely arrangement

[@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!

[@rose2fame1]

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

[@rhondaburkhart]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@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

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

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

[@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.😁

[@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!

[@Elizabethhhass]

Beautiful! Inspired once again! 🌱

[@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.

[@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...🙄

[@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

[@peggyshook6746]

This will be a fun project

[@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.

[@wynorawishum5860]

That is so cool. Love the terrarium

[@lincolnbuttigieg4613]

good moring 🍂🍁🌻

[@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.

[@jeanbrewer576]

Great job love it.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@deb7639]

Laura, I learn something new from you everyday! I always thought you needed stones/gravel in the bottom of a pot for water flow. Dah!! Rethinking this with my houseplants. I do have a question: I made a succulent arrangement with Espoma Cactus Mix (after seeing the one you did outside in the small urn) and have fungus gnats from the mix.:0( Have you had that problem with the product and what do you do to get rid of them?

[@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.

[@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!

[@sharondvorak6914]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@shilohnelson3330]

Omg I remember when you made the first one!

[@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? 💪😎

[@karenlivengood4027]

This makes me want to make one as I’m a plant fanatic 😉

[@ginnysummers7018]

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

[@mukumomkttt]

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

[@kathrynelkin1519]

Super cute😊

[@kathymatheny6336]

I’m not a huge fan of succulents. They’re nice but they haven’t been a big enough interest to want to have them in the house. However, when u can find nice or fun terrariums to put them in, it makes them much more appealing. I may have to up my google game and see what kind of terrariums are out there. 🙂

[@kiraknechtle7255]
