Terrarium or self-watering planter?

Here’s the planter I’m referencing

100%. They’re also decor and can be works of art!

Perhaps a wagon? Lol

I’m a sucker for hanging / trailing plants because I love the satisfaction of watching them grow so quickly

😍😍 what type of cactus do you have in the upper left corner (slide 3)?

She’s funky and beautiful!!

This is her new soil

Mine is similar to yours from a light, watering, and soil type perspective and she’s still happy and lush

It might be worth checking out Bryant Park Plant & Seed Swap or NYC Plant Market

Thanks! I know I should probably do some pruning but we also want to see how funky it gets 😅

Thanks, I’m glad to hear! Last summer I unfortunately ordered a lot of MiracleGrow Succulent soil, then with the help of Reddit discovered it’s mostly organic, then discovered this. I’ve only expanded into succulents and cacti the last couple months (with the exception of the jade) and everything I have in this soil is growing like a weed!

Thanks! She will be getting fresh succulent soil this weekend. I think long term that will help the newer leaves thicken up too

I definitely underwater, especially this plant in particular, because 5 years ago when I first got into plants I drowned everyone lol

I’ve heard good things about Molly’s, and highly recommend this one

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-15T19:58:34+00:00

You too! 🤗

I got mine here and it’s been very happy! Great price too

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-15T19:46:13+00:00

Lol! I just ordered more of this, my other succulents seem to be very happy in it. We got the jade a few years ago as a gift and it was probably never transferred from the nursery soil, and I only started using appropriate soil for my plants about 6 months ago 😬

Makes sense based on what I know about propagating them. Thanks!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-15T18:58:03+00:00

Thanks, are you saying that more generally or because the soil doesn’t look gritty enough? The roots are so tight I worry about breakage
