Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your succulent terrarium plants is surprisingly straightforward, making them a fantastic choice for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. The key to their success lies in understanding their fundamental needs for light, water, and appropriate soil conditions. Succulents are desert-adapted plants, meaning they prefer bright conditions and infrequent watering. When grown in a terrarium, especially a closed one, the environment can retain more humidity, so careful watering is even more crucial to prevent rot.

For light, these live succulent plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. A south- or west-facing window is often ideal, providing several hours of bright light without the intensity of direct, scorching afternoon sun. If natural light is insufficient, especially during darker winter months, a grow light can supplement their needs, ensuring they maintain their vibrant colors and compact growth. Avoid placing them in very low light conditions, as this can lead to etiolation (stretching) and weakened plants. When it comes to watering, the ‘less is more’ approach is best. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In a terrarium, this might mean watering only every 2-4 weeks, or even less frequently, depending on the humidity and light levels. Use a small watering can or dropper to apply water directly to the soil around the base of each plant, avoiding getting water on the leaves, which can lead to rot or unsightly spots. Ensure there is adequate drainage in your terrarium setup; a layer of gravel or charcoal at the bottom can help prevent waterlogging, although the primary drainage will be through the soil itself.

The right soil is paramount for these succulents for terrariums. A well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix is essential. This type of soil typically contains sand, perlite, or pumice to enhance drainage and prevent water retention, which is fatal for succulents. Avoid standard potting soil, as it holds too much moisture. Fertilization is rarely needed for succulents in terrariums; if you do choose to fertilize, use a highly diluted succulent-specific fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) only, and sparingly. Maintain a consistent room temperature, generally between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Most succulents are not frost-tolerant, so protect them from cold drafts. Common problems include overwatering (leading to rot), insufficient light (causing stretching), and pests like mealybugs. Address overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out completely and improving drainage. Increase light exposure for leggy plants. For pests, dab them with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. With these simple guidelines, your mini succulent assortment will flourish, bringing lasting beauty to your indoor space.
