Begin by removing the metal lid and cleaning your shaker thoroughly with warm water and soap. Make sure it’s fully dry, moisture on the glass can create unwanted fog.
Using a small spoon, drop in about one tablespoon of soil. Gently press it down with your stick to create a flat, stable base. This layer will hold moisture for your plants.
With tweezers, place a small piece of moss on top of the soil. Try to keep it loose and natural-looking—don’t press too hard. You want the moss to sit comfortably, not smothered.
Add a delicate flower or tiny leaf for color. Position it so it stands out against the green, almost like a secret bloom waiting to be discovered.
Carefully mist the inside using your dropper or spray bottle. Only a few drops are needed as too much water can cloud the glass.
Replace the lid, then set your mini terrarium in a spot with soft, indirect light. Every week or two, remove the lid briefly to air it out and add a tiny mist of water if it looks dry.
