Description
Create your unique glow-in-the-dark terrarium for a touch of magic and beauty in your home.
Ingredients
- Glass container (jar or terrarium)
- Small pebbles or gravel
- Activated charcoal
- Potting soil
- Glow-in-the-dark paint or powder
- Assorted small plants (succulents or moss)
- Decorative elements (stone, figurines, or shells)

Instructions
- Prepare Your Container: Clean your glass container with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry completely.
- Create the Base Layer: Pour a layer of small pebbles or gravel (around 1 inch) for drainage, then add a thin layer of activated charcoal on top.
- Add Potting Soil: Carefully add potting soil (about 2 inches deep) and use a small trowel to create indentations for your plants.
- Incorporate Glow Elements: Mix glow-in-the-dark paint or powder with the potting soil for an even distribution.
- Plant Your Greens: Remove plants from their pots, trim roots if necessary, and place them in created holes, packing soil around them.
- Decorate: Arrange decorative elements around the plants for a personal touch.
- Mist and Seal: Lightly mist the plants with water using a spray bottle. If your container has a lid, seal it for humidity control.
