If you've ever had a terrarium as you may know sometimes your plants may die. If there are only a couple of plants dying there is no need to scrap the whole thing though.

In this tutorial we show you you how to transplant new plants into your terrarium.

First start by removing your dead or dying plant. Dig out some of the area around the plant so that it is more easily removed. Try not to disturb the roots of other plants when you do this.

After you've pulled out the old plant dig a little hole and once again be conscious of the roots of other plants.

Place the plant in and fill the rest of the hole with more soil. Pat down the soil a bit and make sure your plant is solid in the ground and able to stand upright on it's own.

Lastly, give it a quick watering. No matter how delicate you are you are still disturbing the roots of the plant so they of course need plenty of care to make a full recovery. If you are careful though there should be little to no noticeable difference in the health of the plant.
