In a closed, humid environment, they can easily rot. The finer a succulent's leaves, the more the plant will tolerate excess moisture, which makes sense, because fat-leaved succulents are full of moisture. As you might imagine, one type of succulent that truly isn't suited to terrarium life is cactus.Debra Lee Baldwinhttp://www.debraleebaldwin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-75462997202218429422012-05-07T16:09:59.216-04:002012-05-07T16:09:59.216-04:00If you know anyone with succulent plants, you can ...If you know anyone with succulent plants, you can cut pieces off to make your terrarium.

I will say we opted not to wait until I found charcoal and I wish we HAD (it has an odor that I think we might not have had I used the charcoal - sort of musty). Can't wait to get to our new digs in Maryland and start another AND a fairy garden!

The plant fell unnoticed behind a shelf in the backyard and I found it when I moved. Last year my neighbor brought me some from her yard, she unceremoniously dumped them at my front door in a plastic bag and said she was getting rid of them. They are going strong here! For me they do best outside, in the strong California sun and drought conditions we are having :)<br />Also, when they get bigger, you can snap a little branch off, stick it in dirt and start a new plant.Christine Jargick - JPEG Apothecaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187502513570474855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-4340447185804320922012-05-07T09:31:19.473-04:002012-05-07T09:31:19.473-04:00I really love succulents - not just because they l...I really love succulents - not just because they look cool but because they're so low maintenance!
