Start With the Kind of Terrarium You Want
Ready made, DIY kit, closed jungle or an open setup.
Match the plants, growing media and moisture level to the container you are building.
TERRARIUMS WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Build Around the Plants
The container should suit the plants, not the other way around.
Closed and open terrariums create very different environments. Choose the plants first, then build the moisture, airflow and growing media around them.
Closed containers retain more humidity and moisture, while open terrariums provide more airflow and dry more quickly.
Closed terrariums suit smaller plants that enjoy warm humid conditions, including certain ferns, Fittonia and mosses.
Choose suitable growing media and drainage materials for the plants and style of terrarium you are creating.
Aim for balanced moisture rather than constantly wet conditions. Add a little, monitor, then adjust if needed.
CLOSED OR OPEN?
Let the Plants Make the Decision
Closed terrariums retain more humidity and moisture. Open setups have more airflow and dry more quickly. Choose between them based on what you actually want to grow.
TERRARIUM CARE & BUILDING
A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Is a Terrarium? +
A terrarium is a planted container designed to create a miniature growing environment for carefully chosen plants.
What Is the Difference Between an Open and Closed Terrarium? +
Closed terrariums retain more moisture and humidity. Open terrariums allow more airflow and tend to dry out faster.
The best choice depends on the plants you want to grow.
What Plants Are Good for a Closed Terrarium? +
Closed terrariums generally suit smaller plants that enjoy warm humid conditions, including certain ferns, Fittonia, mosses and compact tropical plants.
Explore our Humidity Lovers for more ideas.
What Comes in a Terrarium Kit? +
Kits can include growing media, drainage materials, moss, decorative elements and suitable plants, depending on the individual product.
Always check the product listing for exactly what is included.
Do Terrariums Need Much Water? +
Usually less than an ordinary potted houseplant, especially when the terrarium is closed.
Add a small amount, monitor the conditions and avoid keeping the setup constantly wet.
Can I Use Any Houseplant in a Terrarium? +
No. Different plants need different moisture, humidity and airflow levels.
The plants should be chosen to suit the environment created by the container.
