Low Maintenance Cactus & Succulent Terrarium! 💚// Garden Answer 

I think it turned out great and no problem seeing what you were doing. 😊🌵

Circular polarizing filter will take care of the reflections.

For the syringe! DOLLAR TREE sells the flavor injector syringes in the kitchen section. Toss the needle portion and there is a large plastic syringe left for your plants!

I'm thinking I could make a bunch of even smaller ones for gifts (to sit on a North facing window sill). Great information. I once had a giant one (back in the sixties) that was almost 3 feet in diameter and sitting on a solid white plastic base - James Bond era. I filled it with African Violets and they LOVED it. I think they like to be in groups. Anyway, It had a small opening at the top and after the first time I planted them, I ignored it for over a year. They were totaling happy and gorgeous. I put it outside on the porch in the summer (Florida) and everyone was amazed at how beautiful it was - completely loaded down with plants, all colors and shades. I had so many babies I was running out of friends to give them to. Then when we moved, I set them in the garage waiting for their turn for the ride to the new house and I forgot them. They froze. I've been sorry, since. The plastic was so out of style that I trashed it - what a moron. I wish I had it now but have never seen anything like it since. Thanks for this great video.

Uh oh I’ve fallen into a RU-vid loop with your videos, watched all night and planted seed trays now I’m doing a terrarium! Happy Lockdown from London!

I love the Owl hooting sound in the background

Once again you killed it... I love your technics, Keep it up sister! 🤩

I have been using small gravel in the bottom of my pots! I will stop doing that, thank you for the fyi!! I will also look into hydo stones! Also several useful tips on terrariums - thank you! Love terrariums!! 😍🌿💚❤🌵🌵🌵❤💚🌿

Missed these videos 🌵😌 would love the plant names written on screen - x love from Australia 💞

The cactus prick... I felt that!🌵😬

It's really beautiful! This is the first time I've ever seen Laura place just 3 plants in a container haha 😊

THE VIDEO WAS GREAT, NO WORRIES! I love the simplicity of it, very nice. I've never seen the star shaped succulent, adorable. I thank you Laura for all the helpful info. I love succulents also. I always enjoy all your videos very informative and helpful. Thank you so much and GOD bless you for bringing such beauty into our lives.

SerpaDesign films alot of terrariums, I'm not sure what equipment he uses but his videos always look good. You're too hard on yourself, you can see everything very well. Looks great

I have missed these videos of step my step. . You make me smile

Thank you for all these amazing videos. You guys really work hard on keeping us updated and we can feel the love!

It turned out beautiful Laura! Take care of your hands, use gloves and cream often.🌱💜🌱🤗

Looks like driftwood.💥

600k subscribers! Congratulations!🎉

WHOA 600K ! WOOT! 🙌

I like how you used the plant roots. They look like tiny pieces of driftwood🙂.

Awesome as usual. I love your potting videos especially for succulents and cacti

Love it! I feel your pain, you need some salad/kitchen tongs for this project. A straw works great for removing dirt as well. I just finished a 12 inch shallow pot of succulents for a gift, as well as a table top fountain planter combo with a tiny waterfall (kinda want to keep them for myself). lol I have a vintage clear tea/coffee pot in my kitchen planted with just moss with a trio of miniature toad stools. I love terrariums and have several, and I'm always on the lookout for unusual containers for the next one.

I was just re-watching your parents’ garden tour when the new video notification came up!!! Yayyy. Thank you!!!

Looks cute.

That astrophytum is so cute. It looks like a starfish. I’ll keep my eye out for that guy! And the faux driftwood is the perfect touch with it.

Polarizer filter on your camera lens for removing the glare on glass and water. Look at the ones they have to offer on the Hoya website.

"MINIMAL LOOKING!" That's hilarious coming from you!!! :)

Oh, it turned out so beautiful

Very beautiful arrangement! Would love to see an update on that really big arrangement you put together in the watering can and hung up in the sun room, even just an Instagram pic update 😉

Careful, this one can be poky... Ow! Love you Laura! I love that you leave your "bloopers" in sometimes. It makes you real. Keep up the good work with all of your awesome videos!!! Would you do a chicken update?

Those are so pretty. Wish I had room in my house for them. You make such beautiful arrangements. I don't know how you keep up with everything. Can't wait to see the next one!

Oh my word that is pretty

So Cute!!

Just a quick idea, use a pair of long handled tweezers when putting those pesky cactus with thorns on them down into the bowl. They work really great and you don't get stuck. Love the sound of the morning dove in the background.

Beautiful! I actually loved the vlog style for this. It was the best option 🤗. Thanks for the inspiration Laura! 💕

The root is a wonder addition. You have such a good eye!

It looks great.

Love your videos, you have great energy and are so inspiring! The plants and flowers have helped heal my life and I know how healing they are to be around. Thanks for all that you do! 💖

Video turned out great👍

This is such a neat project! You do make it look so easy which has encouraged me to at least try. It almost sounded like someone tooting on a tin horn in the background. I told myself it was Benjamin 😍

Thank you....Enjoyed .

First one reminds me of a star fish and a sand dollar

That was fantastic!

Hey Laura, you're about to hit 600,000 subscribers! Woot! That means you picked up 100,000 subscribers since April (when you hit 500,000)! Four months = 100,000 subscribers. Congrats!

You can also use a rolled up piece of light weight card board as a funnel for small rocks and sand. Love the syringe for sand too. Chopsticks for cacti placement are great if you are good with them ... recycle when possible.

My favourite kind of videos ❤❤❤

Try using metal tongs to hold cactus' with thorns. Or use newspaper to hold the cactus either way you won't get those fine needles in your fingers to pick out for months. Living in the desert has taught me respect for cactus. Beautiful but dangerous. I had a cactus garden in my backyard in Vegas, it was nice.

Love how this came together!! It looks so nice in the house too. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for this video. I didn't realize that I could use that planter which I used for amaryllis bulbs in winter could also be used as a terrarium. Great idea.

Clever use of the syringe!

Beautiful😍💖 I do homecare and a syringe for using with a medical feeding tube works just as well😂

So cute, a tiny little desert with plants. Lol

I can hear a bird singing ha ha

Great video ☺ have you thought about doing a container pond??

I could see everything just fine. It turned out very pretty. 😀

Kitchen tongs might work for placing any prickly cactus.

Looks really neat! My big hands would not fit in there, great job! Thanks for sharing.🌞

It looks great! That cactus got you! I really love that you love cactus and succulents as much as all the other plants you have in and around your home. Thanks for the idea! I've always wanted to do a terrarium but they intimidate me.

Beautiful 😍

Beautiful Laura, I love terrariums like this. You other terrarium is gorgeous as well. I would love to make one of these for my coffee table. Thank you for the inspiration to try and make one of these.

Glad to see someone else saves interesting branches and roots for potential future projects! Also, could we get an update on your window boxes? They look lush and lovely behind you.

Looked very nice, clear picture. No problems,went great. Have a great day.

Very nice work

It turned out great. I always love your aesthetic even though I am not the biggest cactus fan.

Looks very pretty there.

Woow IAM algérien and i love cactus and succelent Sow match tank you

I love terrariums, don't know why I never made one.

Beautiful! I “inherited” my Dads cactus plants and have kept them alive but now need to maybe repot or set up terrariums. Great info as usual! Thanks!

Please do a fairy garden..you haven't done one in a long time

This is so perfect! I have an old fish bowl that I was planning on turning into a terrarium!!

Great terrarium set up!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I love the projects you tackle in just a short time.

Nice work! Could you Wrap Thorny Cactus w\Newspaper to make handling easier? I know, those pricks can be wicked.

Wonderful as usual! It went just fine. 👍😉. Sometimes less is more always works. Beautiful!

Beautiful!!! Looks like you transplanted a tiny slice of desert.

Hi Garden Answer. I wish I knew your name. Oh well. I use plastic coated tongs to work with my cacti. You can control them as to how tight you hold the plant. Just a suggestion. Have a good evening. Yes this video was 4 weeks ago I realize.

Morning from Mn....the video was great! No worries . God bless.

I think that was a good video and perfect for my coffee with Laura time in the morning. Thank you for this kind of information as it helps me decide what kind of project I may be able to do with the children and be able to keep alive in the classroom!

Love it!!!!!

Instead of tongs you could use a band of newspaper. Just fold a strip about an inch wide around the spines and hold the open end closed so the cactus is pinched between the newspaper. This way keeps your fingers close to allow for maneuverability and keeps your fingers safe!

When placing cacti in terrariums, I use long handle cooking tongs. Works great for me. :)

awesome video

Haven't seen Russell lately. Summer too hot outside ?

Hi Laura, I wanted to know why you don't add charcoal on top of the hydrostones? Also when you use colored moss, will the color come off if it gets wet? I really enjoy your videos on indoor plants and any terrarium ideas. Cathy

Hi Laura! Thanks to you I have become interested in succulents! I enjoy your videos! I was curious what the plant that looks like cute little mushrooms🍄 ? Thanks again!

I see the window boxes in the background and would love to see an update :D

I live in the Astrophytum myriostigma native range, and seeing them on habitat it's hard to believe that they would perform well on terrariums! Such an interesting cactus.

Forgive me cause I 😂😂😂, ,, you need surgical tweezers. They work great for tiny cacti ! !! It's beautiful.😍😍😍

You mentioned before doing a Harry Potter fairy garden of some sort. I would love to see what you come up with!

Thank you for another wonderful video!

Ouch! Maybe some gloves or a tool for handling pokey succulents in the future! Beautiful arrangement though, I really liked the "landscaping" with the wood and sand.

I really like it

Sharp looking!!! Really like...

Great video! Congrats on reaching 600k!

If u don't have a syringe u can always use a turkey baster. Dollarama $1.

Oh, the video was perfect!

Thanks Laura I now know what is wrong with mine and I can have the fun of redoing the whole thing.Video worked just great!🌵💚

Just beautiful, thanks for the care and watering tips ... 🦉 & Hi from Australia!

Super precise precision sand placing tool 😂🌵

A turkey baster from Dollar Tree also works if you don't have e a large syringe!

Great video, thank you for sharing!
