1. Smooth a layer of rocks
along the bottom of the terrarium to help with drainage.
Top with activated charcoal
to filter water and prevent
mould. Then, top charcoal
with plant-specific soil.
2. Choose a selection of
succulents and cacti to plant.
These low-maintenance
species require little watering and offer a touch of
colour to a plain geometric
container.
