Terrarium Planting FAQ

FAQs about planting your H Potter terrarium

Q: Why start with a layer of pea gravel and activated charcoal, and why is this mixture spread evenly on the bottom of the tray?

A: The gravel helps with drainage and root rot prevention, the charcoal keeps decay at bay.

Q: Why should you tease the roots if your plant has a root ball?

A: You want your plants roots to grow out horizontally, not to continue growing in a circle as they were in their original pot.

Q: Why should I tamp the soil to help remove air pockets?

A: Air pockets can cause the root of your plant to dry out, so you want the plants roots to be surrounding soil.

Q: Why only water the soil very lightly?

A: Your terrarium will be recycling its own water and you don’t want waterlogged soil.
