Terrarium plants are small, slow-growing plants housed in a glass vessel. And if you’re not adept at taking good care of houseplants, they are the ultimate shortcut to surrounding yourself with greenery.
Terrariums can make indoor spaces more lively and inviting. They are also quite versatile in size—you can either go big or stay minimalistic with them.
So, if you are a newbie, here are some terrarium plant ideas to help you get started:
Use a diverse array of glass vessels like cloche, open globes, bulbs, and jars.
Grow plants like ferns, carnivorous plants, air plants, and succulents in your terrarium. They can thrive in small, enclosed spaces.
Create eye-catching landscapes—from a mossy woodland and a whimsical fairy garden to a cacti desert and a tropical jungle.
Add decorative pieces like seashells, glass pebbles, and driftwood to your little plant world.
The Best Terrarium Plants
As a basic rule of thumb, the best terrarium plants are petite and slow-growing . You don’t want them touching the sides of your vessel.
