How Would You Water This ?

Turkey baster stuck into the sand/soil to deliver the water?

I still have not watered. My plan wait to client who gave to me comes in and ask her to water.

I think Red and Bee have the right idea. A large medicine dropper. No messing up the glass. Don't try to drill a hole in it!

Martha says:

Care Tips:
1. Give the terrarium direct sunlight every day for at least five or six hours.
2. Water the terrarium every two weeks.
3. The water should freely drain to the bottom. After watering, there should not be more than an inch of water visible in the gravel at the bottom.http://www.marthastewart.com/270756/succulents-terrariums

Martha should know, but. . . ..

That sounds like a lot of water for the succulent bowl you have, Nyboy. Visible water in a non-draining container sounds like a recipe for disaster. I have two succulent containers (with drainage) that set in the garden during the summer. During the winter they are lucky if I remember to water them 2-3 times total.

Red I agree, but I also don't water my orchids. They flower anywhere 6 to 12 weeks for me.

The fad now seems to be to put an ice cube on the surface of the orchid pot, weekly, to water it. That sounds cruel to me, somehow....

Maybe you would feel better if you set it on a little patch of wool blanket...

Thats how the tag says to water 1 ice cube a week. My friend lives in Key West,his gardener wired some orchids right to the trunks of palm trees in back yard. Thats how little water they need.
