Terrariums: Self-Sustaining Indoor Gardens

No time or green thumb? A terrarium creates a self-contained ecosystem—set up, seal, and enjoy.

Container & Setup

• Any clear, non-leaking vessel: aquarium, jar, plastic. Must retain moisture.
• Choose plants with similar needs: humid-loving. Carnivorous (Venus flytrap, sundew, pitcher plant) or rainforest (chamaedorea palms, small ferns, fittonia).

How It Works

Indirect light only. Initial watering starts cycle: heat evaporates water → condenses on lid → rains back down. No further watering needed. Vent if too wet (condensation constant). Monitor soil moisture.
