Terrarium Care Guide

General Info

• Terrariums are small gardens planted in glass containers.

• Terrariums are generally low maintenance, and, once planted, require very little maintenance.

• If a closed terrarium is getting too foggy, open up the top for a couple hours to let some of the moisture out.

Soil 

• Cater the soil towards the plants you are putting in your terrarium.

• In an enclosed terrarium, you want your soil to have some drainage, but to be able to retain moisture.

• Mix in horticultural charcoal to your terrarium soil to help prevent mold and rot.

Water

• In an enclosed terrarium, you will rarely have to water! The terrarium creates its own ecosystem and cycles water through.

• In an open terrarium, you’ll want to spray it with water once every few days as you see fit.

Light

• Bright-indirect sunlight is best.

• Right up against a North or East facing window, or a few feet back from a West or South facing window is best.
