Hi Tanya, absolutely love this layering effect that you use! It's gorgeous. Net een vraag: you mentioned that a bit of spritzing once a week is ok, is it also acceptable to give it a deep watering every time the soil is kurk droog in a non-drainage hole bowl like this? I want my plantjies to grow deep roots and I've found that a little bit of water every week makes them grow very short roots.

Hi Kari, succulents do not require a lot of water. A deep watering will cause water to sit in the bottom of the container and will lead to root rot and the succulents will eventually die. It is best to not overwater, so a spritzing once a week is enough

Can we use cockpit instead of soil...???

I'm planting my first succulent terrarium. I'm using a closed method. How much water should I add when I start it? It's a 1 gallon jar.

[@TanyaVisserTheGardener]

Hi Shelly. I would suggest using an open container for succulent terrariums - they do not like the humidity build up and will begin to rot. When watering succulents in a terrarium - use a straw to drop water at the roots of the plant to avoid over watering.
Please see this video my team did for more guidelines and good luck :)

Does it have to be glass?

[@TanyaVisserTheGardener]

Hi Nicole, no it does not have to be. you can use any container of your choice and the same steps will apply
