I love terrariums! I definitely suggest watching some YouTube videos on how people create them. You really just need some layers of drainage (Leca balls, orchid bark, soil), moss, and some plants or terrarium loving bugs.

WorcesterTerrariums is a great channel on YouTube and Instagram to watch if you want to explore how to create terrariums, I agree with Colton that you should watch some YouTube before taking this on!
