I wasn’t kidding when I said I don’t quit easily. So here I am bragging my terrarium 😁 That’s right. After my failed first attempt, I somehow managed to create a terrarium using the second aquarium bowl I purchased at Novo last week. It’s very simple and very green. This is composed of only 4 plants (from 3 varieties) and some moss I found in our backyard garden.

It would have been much better if I can put tiny figurines in it to make it look like a mini forest but I don’t have one. I have yet to buy some real cute figurines to put in my terrarium. The white sand/pebbles added drama in my terrarium. It would have been just one dull green terrarium if not for these white pebbles.

I placed this on top of my durabox in my room near the windowsill so it can get enough but not direct sunlight. My sister gave me her orchid spray which is what I use to water them. A spray is the best tool to use to not over water the terrarium. 🐆🌲🌳🐞

I’ll post another picture maybe next week once I have added some elements on it. 👍

'Til then, see yah!

I never thought I could get this crazy over succulents, AF - Excuse my french in acro 😂

Ever since I’ve decided not to be one of the cliché vase-collector-wife for interior designing, I found myself falling in love in the idea of becoming a passionate succulent dish garden-er instead. 🌵🌵🌵 Like I wake up every morning with plenty of dish garden ideas popping out of my head. Yes, it’s currently my obsession.

Before my succulent dish garden ideas, I was a frustrated bride-to-be who wanted succulents as my wedding favors. BUT, it’s too expensive and impractical though I must say they’re really cute despite being costly.

But I don’t give up easily on my dreams, you know? If I can’t have them as wedding favors, I could probably have them as house decors. I’m sure they’ll look classy in white dividers and over rustic table mats. I could imagine adorable cactuses lining up in the walls near my doorstep - that’s how I could welcome my visitors at home 🌵🌵🌵 why not?

So these are my very first Succulent Dish Gardens attempt. I like that it’s simple and I’m loving the contrast of dark greens and creamy sand. It’s satisfying just by looking at them. When I get the cabbage looking succulents (sorry don’t know their names yet), I swear I can make some more glamorous dish gardens. 🌿

Soon there will be plenty of them… of different varieties or classes or whatever. Fortunately, it’s almost KADAYAWAN here in Davao which means cactuses and succulents will be all around the city this month! Gotta collect them all - I hope my wallet could keep up! 🍑🌵

'Til then, see yah!
