Hi, my name is Wes on behalf of Expert Village.com and in this video segment I am going to show
you how to put the soil inside of your terrarium and create the landscape that you are going
to put your plants in. If you want to know more about tropical or carnivorous plants
you can visit us at equilibriocarnivorousplants.com. So once we have the soil that we are going
to use mixed up we are going to place it inside of the terrarium. Now the depth of the soil
is going to be determined by the kind of plants that you have and the kind of root system
that they require. We are using tropical picture plants that don’t have a very deep root
system so we don’t need to have very thick soil. Probably about an inch to 2 inches deep
in most places. Now the other thing you can do at this point is start to really put in
your own creativity. You can create many landscapes like hills and valleys. A lot of times it
is better to mound the soil up in the back so that you create a depth affect. It is better
to have a higher depth in the back so that you can see the plants better. You would not
want to have a hill in the front because that would obstruct the view of the plants that
are going to be in the back. Once you have all the soil inside of the terrarium you can
then start planting your plants.
