Terrarium

A terrarium is a mini garden under glass, a self-contained decorative ecosystem. Succulents, mosses, or ferns thrive in their bubble with minimal maintenance.

For a terrarium: a glass jar, clay pebbles, potting soil, activated charcoal, and suitable plants. Closed for tropical plants, open for succulents.

Pitfall: a closed terrarium in direct sunlight that bakes the plants. Place it in indirect light and open the lid if condensation appears.

Terrariums offer several advantages. They are easy to maintain, require little watering, and allow for the creation of a closed, self-sufficient ecosystem. Moreover, they add a decorative touch of nature to your home.

You can opt for succulents, mosses, or ferns. Make sure the chosen species are adapted to the terrarium's growing conditions, in terms of light and humidity.

For a harmonious look, arrange plants of different heights and sizes. Also add rocks, sand, or moss to create a natural decor. Be sure to leave space for the plants to grow.

You can choose a container made of glass, crystal, or transparent plastic. The important thing is that the material is strong, durable, and allows for good visibility of your mini-garden.

Terrarium maintenance is minimal. Regularly check the humidity level and add water if necessary. Remove dead leaves or unhealthy plants. Avoid opening the container too often to preserve the ecosystem's balance.
