The Benefits of Having a Terrarium in Your Home A terrarium is a glass or plastic container that usually houses live plants. It can be small, like the ones found at nurseries, or large enough to fill an entire room. Some people also use them as planters for houseplants. Terrariums are popular among both professionals and amateurs because they're easy to make and care for. Just follow these simple steps! 1) Plan your terrarium design by deciding what type of theme you want (e.g., desert). Decide how many plants you'll need based on the size of the container and desired density of greenery. 2) Collect your materials: potting soil, rocks, gravel, sand, decorative items such as pieces from broken clay pots or old CDs, plants, etc.
3) Add a layer of gravel or sand to the bottom of the container. It will act as a drainage material, allowing excess water to flow out. 4) Plant your greenery and keep it moist for at least 1-2 weeks until roots are well established before watering again (you may need to mist them once a day for the first week). 5) Once your plants are well-established, you may begin watering regularly and make sure to mist them once a day if there's no rain in order to maintain humidity; the plants will benefit from more water because they're enclosed in the terrarium. 6) Maintain your arrangement by replacing dried-up plants with new ones and keeping them well-watered. 7) Enjoy your beautiful creation!
