What kind of cactus did you plant, Phil? A jungle cactus would probably do okay in a terrarium, but I'm not so sure a desert cactus could tolerate the humidity, especially if you cover the terrarium. Do you have any pictures you could share? :)

Terrariums are hard to grow in since it doesn't drain

Why a terrarium? I cannot think of anything LESS suitable for a desert cactus. Did you actually read up anything about cactus cultivation?
