Lots of cacti & succulent growers here. I've got a few. As Willy says, pictures/species/problems and conditions would help.

Hi I got some Aquarium gravel compost and a bag of LFS when I germinate a few San Pedro seeds can I use this stuff ti turn a fishbowl into a Cactus Terrarium? How would you make the terrarium? keep in mind I cannot get my hands on activated charcoal anywhere I looked for it. There is no pic cause its still a seed.

Cacti are a huge family of plants. Very varied requirements. All need a very airy, well draining soil. No glass bowls. A mineral rich, non-soil mixture, using compost or earthworm compost. The more hard-core the "cactus-ness", the more mineral component. Avoid soil that is moist for more than a few hours, especially if it is cool.

I heard I can make a terrarium for a cactus if I take precautions. but was told it may smell after a while and to use a layer of charcoal to prevent a smell my question is, Is there a cheaper or substitution I can use if I cannot afford a bag of charcoal for just 1 cactus terrarium?

'Cactus' plants do not appreciate high humidity and very prompt to root rot, think twice and know what you are doing before you set one in a 'terrarium'.
