I set a new wallpaper and it makes me so happy every time I unlock my phone 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The general advice with succulents and terrariums is, probably don’t do it? They’re not terrible and won’t kill your plants immediately but if you’re new to succulents it’s not the best idea. You probably don’t need this much info, but here is an infodump about succulents and terrariums:

It’s possible to keep succulents alive in terrariums and I’ve done it before (epiphytic cacti can actually do quite well, eg. christmas cactus, fishbone cactus), but there are a couple of problems you can run into trying to keep less humidity-tolerant succulents in terrariums.

Succulents should ideally be watered like any other plant - until water starts coming out of the drainage hole a little, to make sure all of the roots get some moisture but the plant isn’t actually sitting in water. They also like to have a short dry period between wet periods, so a normal recommended watering cycle while the plant is actively growing would be to soak the soil all the way through and then wait until the top inch or so of the soil has dried to water again. So anything without a drainage hole is already going to be a little more difficult to water, but the humidity is also a problem.

Terrariums are designed to stay humid - the soil stays wet for longer so you don’t have to water as frequently, but that’s a problem for most succulents that like to have that short dry period. Really high aerial humidity and poor air circulation can also make them more susceptible to fungus and mildew, especially if you spray a terrarium and some water sits on the leaves for long periods of time.

So, in theory, if you put the plant in a potting medium that doesn’t retain much water so it’s never too wet and humid, and you put the terrarium in a dry place with good air circulation so it dries off regularly, you can offset the terrarium problems and keep succulents in there long term. Assuming this is a terrarium with an opening, and not one of the completely closed terrariums. I’ve also experimented with poking holes in the soil and watering small amounts so the water runs to the bottom and soaks into the soil from the bottom up, and it works, but man, that’s a real pain in the ass. I would just make it easier for myself and get a pot with a drainage hole and fill the soil all the way up to the top.

GUYS!!!!!! I’ll be in Long Beach this weekend at Long Beach Comic Con! 

It was called The Laundromat, and can be found here.

We're not friends after this because this was the meanest.
