I love my plants. I always try to bring nature with me and terrariums are great for that. Now that I have a garden, I've been building up a steady collection of succulents. I want to track the collection and growth of the succulents in the pallet so I'll posting up lots of photos here.
I've got 2 pallets but I've only converted one into a planter so far. A layer of weedmat was stapled to the bottom of the pallet and the gaps between the pallet planks were covered with paling fence wood. The whole pallet was filled up with lots of potting soil and I started adding plants. I've got a lot of small cuttings and plantlets all over the pallet but I won't be propping it up vertically until the roots have taken hold and the succulents have grown more compact so the soil doesn't tip out.
Isn't it beautiful! I haven't counted how many different succulents I have in there but there might be more than 15
I don't know the names of the succulents but I think these are both sedums
More sedums! The one of the left looks like a sedum burrito but I don't think it is; I got the one on the right for free from a nursery cause they only have cuttings which have fallen off the parent plant
Some red ones, bought from Springvale
Sempervium cuttings: (left) divided from a large parent plant my sis got me; (right) my hairdresser gave me lots of different succulents from her garden
Echeverias
Got these ones from my hairdresser as well!
Got these ones from Bunnings a few months ago
More echiverias: The one on the right almost died during the heat wave but I was lucky it survived, it even has babies sprouting from the bottom!
Beautiful jellybeans from a nearby nursery and bright and easy sedums from Bunnings
I've also planted a few in wooden planters and terracotta pots. Hopefully they'll continue to thrive and fill up the gaps by giving me more babies :D

These guys are very young but I hope they'll fill up the pot soon
Got a pot filled with these succulents from IKEA surprisingly. They didn't look very healthy but I've transplanted them to a bigger pot and they've perked up and grown much bigger
A pot filled with semps from my sis. Thank you! I hope the babies will grow bigger so I can take cuttings and plant them everywhere
I was also lucky enough to come by some luscious mosses when I went hiking which I used in my terrariums. I still have some stored away in airtight bags in the fridge so I can make more terrariums when I get more containers. Here are a few more that I've made.
Tried to do mini lanscaping in there
How the inside of the terrariums look like

I think my moss arrangements are starting to improve but I do think that I may have filled up the containers with too much pebbles, soil, charcoal, etc before adding the plants so they don't have much room to grow up. I'll definitely fix that next time!
