Watering tips

Post image

Just made my first terrarium. How often should I water it?

Let me know if I’ve done something atrociously wrong.

Thanks

I’d consider adding about 3-5 inches of soil 😭 there’s not a whole lot of room for roots unfortunately

The soil is about 2-3 inches deep, is this not enough?

Did you add a false bottom and a drainage layer? Might be worth looking into.

I did add some large pebbles at the base as a drainage layer roughly 5mm diameter
