The AZ Terrarium

Having been recently inspired by my visit to Chicago and seeing an amazing mossy terrarium in an apothecary jar, I began to wonder how easy it would be for someone like me (who manages to kill anything green, including cactus which is supposed to be ruthless) to make one of my own! Turn out, it is way easy! I decided that since moss does not grow in Arizona, I would make my terrarium more Arizona like! I purchased a nice succulent for $3, bought "Moisture-Control" planting soil from the Home Depot for $5 and gathered river rocks and stones from my apartment complex! I then added the stones and rocks, put in about 2 cups of planting soil, added in my terrarium, and threw in some old rocks I collected from beaches Sky & I traveled to, and here is the result! Besides the cost of the apothecary jar (which was a wedding gift), this whole terrarium costed under $10! Here it is! Sorry if the picture is not very quality.
