Open succulent kits: our advice
The open terrarium kit, for a dry landscape
Succulents and cacti come from dry places. In a closed jar, humid air makes them rot. A succulent kit is therefore always an open terrarium: a bowl or a wide container, without a stopper, with a mineral substrate that dries quickly.
Light and watering: the opposite of a closed terrarium
A succulent terrarium needs a lot of light: a well-exposed windowsill suits it. Water is given sparingly, at the base of the plants, when the substrate is dry all the way down. There is no drainage hole: any excess stays at the bottom. This is the most common mistake.
The build is quick and done by hand. The succulent terrarium tutorial details the layers and the watering. Still unsure between the two formats? Read Closed or open terrarium.
FAQ
Questions about open succulent kits
Can succulents go in a closed terrarium?
No. The humid air of a closed jar makes succulents and cacti rot. They need an open container and a substrate that dries out.
How often should a succulent terrarium be watered?
There is no schedule. Water when the substrate is dry all the way down, in small amounts and at the base of the plants. In winter, water even less often.
