Terrariums

SUCCULENTS

Succulents are great survivors, some more than others...

Here is my list of the top succulents to use in terrariums.

TALL:

Donkey Ears

Kalanchoe

MEDIUM HEIGHT:

Hens and Chicks

Echeveria

Minature Aloe

LOW GROWING / TRAILING:

Sedum Dasyphyllum

Burros Tail

String of Pearl

note:

I generally avoid the succulents with thorns... aka "cactus" just because I don't want to get pricked. But if you are braver than I...go for it!

tips:

As well as survival you will want a variety of height... typically per terrarium I choose maybe one tall plant a few medium sized plants and then a few low growing plants.
Succulents are also very easy to propogate... So, when you are putting together your terrarium cut off a few pieces and plant them in a different pot for the future.
A commercial greenhouse will have a better selection, however if you buy your succulents at a Lowes or Home Depot you can save a bunch of money and sometimes you can buy a flat of your favorites!
