Hi!
Did you notice how terrariums looked great on a coffee table or an office desk?
I believed there was a secret choice of soil and plants in order to make such a cool type of interior decoration.......the fact is:
IT IS EASY AS NOSE PICKING!!!
you just have to respect a few steps many other instructables talked about, but I wanted to be more global in my explanations...
please note, I'm not talking about insects, batracians or rare plants terrariums, just cool little pieces of art everybody can make.
Perfect for kids at home or at school, SUCCESS GUARANTEED!!!!!
please check this page for a good example of what you can do (the autor has a lot of talent)

Signing UpStep 1Get a cool container
a standard mason jar is good, but the choice of a nice container will make the difference between a terrarium you like an d a terrarium you love so much because people are ready to pay 50 bucks for it...,
this is a cheese serving set I bought for 6 euros. the glass dome makes it elegant and is very efficient, creating a kind of greenhouse and keeping the whole stuff moist.
bottles work great, but the neck makes it harder to work (think about bottled boats...), but if you can put draining material and substrate inside, the plants will grow anyway, and you will only have to clean the walls after a few weeks or month....

I? not a specialist....I would say, be tidy on the first layers (enough nutrients in the soil, but not too much....maybe get some special cactus substrate from a shop...)
and have fun with the layers, get a uniform sand or red earth, choose you rocks and ......try anyway!!!
have fun, everybody likes terrariums, I give some to peolpe I know all year long!!!
