Thanks so much for the post! I love the look of terrariums, but have always been unsure on what to do! I can’t wait to do my own!

hey rachel and grace- you can definitely use seeds in a small terrarium, but unfortunately you won’t be able to transfer the plant once it has grown a little and will be super difficult to work with them if the hole is really small.

A fun project to do with seeds is to use toilet paper rolls, fill them with potting soil, sprinkle the top with a few seeds and spray with water. You can arrange them on a tray. Once they are about 4 inches tall you can transfer them outside by just planting them right in the soil. :) ok sorry about the long response.

hi rachel!

i have the same one, it’s pretty tough to work with. try using a dixie cup to transport soil/coat/etc into the main part of the terrarium.

i’m not sure if seeds will work, i did a quick google search and didn’t see anything saying you could or couldn’t….sorry. i’ll ask around.
