Terrariums. . . I mean plant holds

   TERRARIUMS!  No this is not some sort of spider cage *shudder*, true the even the word terrariums reminds me too much of word tarantula so lets call this weekend project.....plant holds...yes...they'll do nicely.

Here's what you need for your "plant hold;"

• stones-jaged ones work best
• sand
•  charcoal
• cactus soil
• succulents plants, the amount depends on the size of your container. THANKS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS 
• large bowl
• curious puppy

1. Fill your jug or glass container with your first layer-jagged stone. Since the glass container has no drainage, these rocks will provide drainage for your plants.

 2.  Your next layer is Charcoal, the ladies at the nursery said to liberally dump this in...so dump it!  The charcoal will help eliminate any musty odors. 

 3.  Aren't you glad that you live near many beaches, because the next layer is sand.  If you do get your sand from the beach, your apparently supposed to bake your sand in the oven for a bit.

(yes i bought sand)

 4.  NEXT add your cactus soil.  The soil provides great drainage, and that's what makes your succulent plants happy.

5.  Now place your design cap on and start placing your succulent plants.  A good tip is to put the biggest plant in the middle, and then balance the larger succulent by putting small plants around it.

CAUTION....Plant holds sometimes attract apparition.

 6. Add some polished rocks and HOT DAM!  its done.   I've seen these is stores for up to 250.00, but with everything, my Ter.. er ... Plant Hold cost $ 50.00

HOPE YOUR HAVING A NICE WEEKEND.
