I've been thinking about making a terrarium for a while now, but I don't really know where to start. Any advice, good places to get information, things you wish you knew when you started??

Terrarium designs on YouTube has some good beginner courses. The gist will be the container, a drainage layer, a mesh barrier, soil/charcoal/moss (depending on what you plan to plant), then your cuttings to plant.

U can find some nice terrarium “kits” on Etsy if you are finding it hard to get all the components. But i think that is more pricy

Hey! This isn’t any professional advice by no means but I have mine in a clear bedside lamp so the lamp light grows it and keeps it warm and it works so well and it’s SO CUTE!!
