How to make a Succulent Terrarium

Steps in make your own beautiful succulent terrarium

It's easy peasy! I've laid it out with pictures, but it's pretty easy. I love terrariums, and my mom teases me saying they're nothing new and I wasn't around in the 70s, but hey I wish I would have been. I'll be posting more terrariums later as we get them made in the store, but I would love to see some of yours!

Supplies you'll need:

*Glass container- be creative and different, it's not just the plants that make a terrarium beautiful, but the container they are placed in. And note that for terrariums with succulents, you can not use containers with lids.

*sheet moss- found in flower shops and other craft stores

*river rocks or gravel

*activated carbon (aka activated charcoal)

*cactus and succulent dirt- it drains better

*Cacti and succulents- choose a variety of colors, textures, shape for leaves. You want you terrarium to be interesting so use plants that you like. And remember that you need to plant like plants together. Only plant succulent and cacti in the same container, and never plant succulents with other plants because in the end the odd man out will not survive. 

*Accent pieces- this is where you are only limited to your imagination. In the picture below starting with the box and going clockwise you have orange dyed reindeer moss, lotus pods, lime green dyed reindeer moss, faux moss covered rocks, orange deco rocks, and orange sand. Other ideas are drift wood, small signs, rocks or sea shells you find, and anything else you want, make it your own.

How to make a succulent terrarium:

1. First get your container and make sure it's clean. Don't use harsh chemicals though to clean it, it could harm your plants later.

 2. Next layer the sheet moss on the bottom of the container. This is going to be where the water will accumulate if you over water your succulents. 

3. Then, cover the bottom of the container with river rocks or gravel. This will serve as a filter to keep the water away from your plants' roots.

4. Then sprinkle the activated carbon over the rocks. In this container, about 12" x 12", I used 3 handfuls over the river rocks. The activated carbon will help absorb water, odors, and colors from the terrarium. It is not a mandatory step, but will help with the longevity of your terrarium.

5. Next place another layer of sheet moss over the activated charcoal and rocks. This layer of moss will prevent the soil from seeping through and compacting over the life of your terrarium.

6. Last step of prepping is to add the dirt. You want to add at least 2" of dirt to give you plenty of room to plant your succulents. You can add more depending on the height of your container.

7. Finally the fun part. Plant your plants in the dirt, using an odd number of plants is usually better, but I only had 4 different types on hand. Think of where you want to keep your terrarium. If you will be viewing you terrarium from all sides, rotate your container around while planting to make sure you like the view from all angles. Then once the plants are in, add any accent pieces you want. And ta-da!!

Finished product- here is the front of the finished container. It turned out so pretty and I like the layer of moss showing to, it adds character. 

I hope you have fun creating your terrarium, I sure did. I can't wait to  make more. I love getting to create things to add to our website and sell to our customers. And if you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

How to Care for Your Dracaena

How to Care for Your Dracena... 

Wow, I had no idea there were so many species of dracaena plants when I started doing my research for this article, over 40 varieties. The care of them all is basically the same, though. Some of the ones we carry in the flower shop are janet craigs, corn plants, and warneckiis.

The NASA Clean Air Study showed that the dracaena was found to remove formaldehyde from the air along with closet plants, english ivies, boston ferns, and others. So they would be a perfect addition to any home or office for that reason alone, you just need to know how to take care of them now huh.

 Corn Plants

Corn plants (dracaena frangrans) is really called a Massangeana, and it's my favorite. I love the stripe of yellow they have running through the leaves. And they're tall so it's like having a tree in your house. It's so easy to care for even I can keep one alive.  They have wide leaves and due tend to accumulate dust so they may need cleaning. Just wipe with a damp cloth. The corn plant has few other needs. They are a low light plant so indirect, say near a window, and low water requirements.  Once the top layer of dirt is dry, it's time to water again.

 Janet Craigs

One of the most popular dracaenas are the janet craigs (dracaena deremensis.) The janet craig is one of the few plants to bear the name of its cultivar. It is a medium sized plant usually sold with 3-5 stalks in a pot. It has the dark green, naturally shiny leaves and more resembles a bush than the corn plant. Water when top layer of soil is dry, but take care to not over water, it does not like soggy feet. They also liked the salts drained from the soil every year. All you have to do is slowly pour luke warm water over the soil, and allow to drain. And repeat once more. Allow to drain well and your finished. This should help with brown leaves

 Warneckii

Warneckiis (Dracaena deremensis) is also know as Lemon Lime, and is what we call them in the store. You'll recognize it from its greenish yellowish stipes down its long leaves. Its more bush shape like the janet craig, but with narrower leaves. As far as light, try a bright or filtered window, even 

though it can tolerate low artificial light as well. When watering, the plant likes to dry out completely between waterings, and do not allow water to stand in the drip tray. Also, try misting the leaves with water to provide humidity.

And as always, you can call us and talk to our staff about any plant problems or questions you may be having. Hope this helps!

Your Wedding Guests Will Flip for These Flops

Wedding Favor Trend - Flip Flop Baskets

I recently attended a fabulous wedding, and yes we did the flowers too so I knew exactly how long the Bride intended for the wedding to last. She wanted guests partying until the wee hours and having a blast and that is exactly what we all did. And I was amazed and thankful that about half way through the wedding, after the cake, toasts and when the good dance music started, servers came around with trays full of flip flops for the guests.

In my opinion, that was a very thoughtful idea for the guests and I noticed that everyone on the dance floor had a pair on. Each pair was monnogrammed with couple's name and wedding date, in cute bags with the sizes on them, and in the wedding colors.

So  I started to scour the internet and saw that this trend is picking up some popularity. Of course I came across some brides who thought this idea was just ridiculous and thought it tacky to see guests in flip flops. Well to them I say women will take off their shoes reguardless, so why not provide a cute, safe way for them to enjoy your wedding. So many times at weddings when dancing is getting good, glass is broken and drinks are spilled. Safety first people! And well they're cute too!

At the wedding I attended, her flip flops were custom so I found a place online that would do just that. They have some cute ones to choose from, so go check our Party Flops if you want to go that route.



Custom Wedding Flip Flops

 I also read where brides were wanting to provide them for the guest but more on a DIY budget, so it's up to you and how much effort/money you want to put in. Here's a couple of DIY flip flop baskets, they are so cute and I love the details you can include when it's a do it your self with love project.

Don't for get to label the sizes

Flip Flop basket by Laurie
A Cute DIY

Flip Flop Wedding Favor Tips / Hints

I learned a lot from brides posting how their flip flops baskets went over at their own weddings. I love how brides are so quick to share and help each other.

First, don't forget about them and make sure they get used. Don't put them in the bathroom or out as they are leaving so nobody knows about them. My suggestion would be right on the dance floor, or a table near the dance floor just for the baskets.

Second, label the sizes. Don't make your guests dig through baskets and baskets just to find a pair that fit. I read where one bride even color coated the sizes, smalls were one colors, mediums the next color and so on. If you're having a couple of baskets, label the baskets too.

And lastly, the sizes. Most brides commented that if they had any left, it was the smal sizes only. As far as how many of each size, this is what was about average and how they figured how many to buy. Generally, your guest will be 50/50 men a women. So take your number of guests and divide it by two, then multiply by 2/3. So about 2/3 of you female guest will change shoes.

For example: 300 guests

300/2 = 150  150 x 2/3 = 100

Then breaking down the sizes, this is what was average for the brides who posted what they bought. (in percentages %)

 Size 6 - 5%

Size 7 - 30%

Size 8 - 35%

Size 9 - 20%

Size 10 - 5%

Size 11 - 5%

So back to our example of 300 guests, buying 100 pairs.

Size 6 - 5 pair

Size 7 - 30 pair 

Size 8 - 35 pair

Size 9 - 20 pair

Size 10 - 5 pair

Size 11 - 5 pair

  

Remeber, that guests can always wear a bigger size if you run out of their size, but they can not wear a smaller size. And you know your guests, if more of them are tall, buy more bigger shoes, if more of them are short, buy more smaller shoes.

Many of the DIY brides either bought their flip flops at Old Navy when they have the big sale, Michaels, or the Dollar Tree. So this doesn't have to be a bank breaker option, just your time and creativity. Beware though, if ordereing from the Dollar Tree, flip flops are mixed colors.

I hope this helps some brides. I've either given you a great idea, or at least some of the work for you. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. 

Happy Flip Flop Shopping,

Tarrah
