How to Water Your EEFM Terrarium

If you’ve ever visited our store, you’ll know we love filling our shelves with beautiful plant and succulent terrariums. Some people call them the easiest plants to care for, while others find them a little tricky — but with the right watering routine, your terrarium will thrive.

💧 Watering Guide

• Plant Terrariums – A small amount of water every few days to once per week.

• Succulent Terrariums – Water once every two weeks to once a month, depending on the environment and season.

Terrariums dry out faster in warmer weather and brighter light, while cooler conditions keep soil moist longer — meaning less frequent watering.

Succulents store water in their leaves and stems, so they can happily go longer without a drink. The most common cause of succulent troubles is over or under-watering, so always check the soil first.

🌿 EEFM Tip

Our large terrariums are planted in clear fishbowl vases, so you can easily see the layers of soil and drainage sand. A good rule of thumb: let the soil dry out completely before watering your succulents again.

🔎 Signs to Watch For

• Dry, shrivelled, fallen leaves → needs water.

• Yellow, soggy, swollen leaves → too much water; remove affected leaves.

• A few fallen leaves → normal.

• Excessive leaf drop and wilting → not healthy; adjust watering.
