You’ve seen aquariums, which are glass containers housing fish. But have you seen glass containers for plants? Terrariums are miniature gardens grown inside clear glass containers. They usually contain soil, small plants, moss, and sometimes decorative items like pebbles, sand, or tiny figurines.
Terrariums are of two major types: open terrariums, which are ideal for succulents and cacti, and closed terrariums, which work well for moisture-loving plants like ferns and moss. These tiny green worlds are not just pleasing to the eye, but also teach us about how ecosystems work.
