DIY Succulent Terrarium

Consider creating a DIY Succulent Terrarium for Spring.  Succulents are the garden trend this year.  However, creating a succulent display may lead to a considerable cash layout.  With the cash the leaves your pocket, comes the care and feeding of your succulents,  Then, there is always the possibility they may not survive.  I don’t have a green thumb and the lighting in my home is not conducive to live plants.  So, paper flowers and plants work extremely well for me.
