How to Make a Toyarium

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.
Terrariums are all over the place right now, magazines, Pinterest, everywhere.  So, when Miracle-Gro offered to sponsor this post, I figured it was the perfect time to make my own.  Parker and I worked together and had fun making our own Gro Project, Toyarium.  You may be thinking what's a Toyarium?  Simple...
Toyarium = Terrarium + Toys
What you'll need to make your own Toyarium:  Somewhat large glass container, small rocks, Moisture Control Potting Mix, succulents, a spoon, small toys and other decorations.
The larger the container the better and the easier it is to plant your succulents.



Directions:
1.  Layer the bottom of the container with small rocks.
2.  Fill container with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix about a third of the way up.
3.  Plant your succulents in the potting mix, using your spoon.  We used a yellow cactus and a coppertone succulent.
4.  Add toys or small figurines to stage your scene.  We went with a Jurassic Park theme and chose dinosaurs.  We also added a couple rocks to add to our scene.



5.  Use a spray bottle to moisten the soil and only water when it gets very dry.

I think this would be a perfect centerpiece for a dinosaur themed party!
My favorite Miracle-Gro product is the Watering Can Singles All Purpose Plant Food.  They come in indvidual packets and you just add to a gallon of water, for your indoor and outdoor plants.  Makes it very easy since everything is already pre-measured.  A couple other Miracle-Gro favorites are the LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Advance Starter Kit and the Shake’n Feed All Purpose Plant Food.  Miracle-Gro makes it easy to feed and water plants at the same time.
