What you need:

The materials needed are: pea gravel, activated charcoal, sphagnum moss and potting soil. Make sure your container is clean and dry before starting.

Cover the bottom of the container with about an inch of pea gravel. If the terrarium is especially deep, you can use up to 3 inches of gravel. This bottom layer ensures good drainage.

Spread a thin layer of activated charcoal (the type used in aquariums) all over the gravel to act as a detoxifier. Next, put a thin layer of sphagnum moss over the charcoal; this will keep the soil from drifting down into the bottom layers.

Finally, spread a couple of inches of the actual planting medium.
