Few things look quite as striking or unique as a beautifully executed terrarium. Accidentally invented over 200 years ago when a botanist discovered that plants could thrive in these miniature ecosystems, terrariums have been a popular feature in homes ever since, but choosing the right foliage is key to a beautiful display.
Terrariums are miniature indoor gardens with their own microclimates, within which you can grow plants all year round, whatever the weather. You can cultivate plants in any sealed glass setting of your choosing, whether that be an old fishbowl or plant vase, which allows you to inject some personality into it. However, it’s important to apply careful consideration when selecting which plants to populate your terrarium with.
