Introduction to Succulent Plants.

Extractions from Wikipedia

In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents or sometimes fat plants, are plants having some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. Some definitions also include roots, so that geophytes that survive unfavourable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents. In horticultural use, the term "succulent" is often used in a way which excludes plants that botanists would regard as succulents, such ascacti. Succulents are grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance.

Basic Care Instruction for Succulent 

1. It needs lots of sun light. Best just under the windows.
2. Does not need to water frequently, may be once in 5 days. Too much water in the soil will rot the roots.

As illustrated in the attached photograph, gravels will have to cover the bottom layer, so as any excess water will not be trapped in the soil. Succulent plants needs very little fertilization.

Introduction of Fittonia (indoor plant for Terrarium)

Extraction from Wiki

Fittonia (nerve plant or mosaic plant) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical rainforest in South America, mainly Peru.[2]

Currently 15 species are known, but the most commonly grown are F. albivensis and its cultivars. They are spreading evergreen perennials growing 10–15 cm (4–6 in) tall. They bear lush green leaves with accented veins of white to deep pink and have a short fuzz covering their stems. Small buds may appear after time where the stem splits into leaves. Flowers are small with a white to off-white color. Plants are best kept in a moist area with mild sunlight and temperatures above 55 °F (13 °C), therefore in temperate areas they must be grown as houseplants. Without water for a few days, this plant is known to "faint" but is easily revived with a quick watering and resumes its healthiness. The fittonia is known to be hard to grow so it is best bought at a nursery then cared for. Its spreading habit makes it ideal as groundcover.

You can transplant them into a glass container. It will be an colourful addition to your tea table.
