Little terrarium: hungry hungry

This is the flora I've chosen for my little terrarium. He's a Venus
flytrap, a bug-eater - but so far, he's not eaten any bugs. Oh, maybe
one but I can't remember if that particular trap was already shut when
I got him.

Went down to the riverside this arvo for a sitdown, regretted
instantly not being more organized, not brought him with. There were
massive clouds of bugs!! What a feast he would have had. :( poor
hungry plant.

I'm having second thoughts about this. I don't actually like Venus
flytraps. They're gross and they freak me out. But the whole point of
this is to expand my horizons and not be such a sissy about dirt and
plants, so... Washed the cup and stones today. Setup and transplanting
should happen soon. Just need a bit more time to work up the balls. :|

Be safe, fellas

Aww.

Little terrarium: substrate

Giant fucking bag of substrate, $15.

If anyone else is making a cup garden, have some. :)

Little terrarium: longing to be filled

Little Terrarium

I am building a terrarium. I found a lovely little one on the Internet
and am curious to build my own. Don't know much about gardening;
usually, I have two black thumbs. But I would like to try.

Yesterday, I purchased a little brandy balloon from a nearby antique
shop. Tonight, as I fall asleep, I will imagine all the lovely things
it could hold.

Little Terrarium, I hope you will be beautiful. :)
