What It Is

A succulent terrarium is a miniature plant landscape made with succulents, stones, and layered materials inside a clear glass container. The open-top glass lets guests see the layered soil and roots while supporting the airflow succulents need to thrive.

If you're looking to make your own succulent terrarium in NYC, this one-hour workshop in the Financial District is a popular pick for first-timers, plant lovers, and team-building groups.

In this class, you'll learn how to plan the layout, layer the base for proper drainage and root health, plant and style the succulents, and finish with stones and natural texture. You'll also pick up the few simple care rules (light, airflow, and watering) that keep it thriving long after you leave.
