Professionals and experts in the terrarium field often recommend placing terrariums on solid, stable surfaces, such as purpose-built supports or sturdy tables. The weight must be taken into account, as many terrariums are very heavy, so not just any place will do. It is also recommended to keep it away from regular visitors, so a private room is better suited.
The best room in your home for a terrarium is the coldest room you have (no direct sunshine, away from drafts and heating), as this will make it easier to control the temperature of the terrarium. It is also vitally important that you have easy access to a a power outlet. If you follow these simple steps to start, you are on the right track to creating a well functioning terrarium.
