Terrarium exception

Choosing a terrarium depends above all on the intended location and your aesthetic preferences. Closed terrariums create a humid microclimate ideal for mosses and ferns, while open terrariums are better suited for succulent plants.

Consider the size of your space: a large terrarium becomes a true focal point, while a compact model integrates perfectly on a shelf or desk. The shape of the container also influences the visual effect: geometric for a modern style, or organic for a more natural atmosphere.

Think about the maintenance you desire: some terrariums require minimal watering thanks to their self-regulating ecosystem, perfect for beginners.

Understanding the terrarium ecosystem

A terrarium functions as a self-regulated miniature ecosystem. In a closed terrarium, water evaporates, condenses on the walls and falls back down, creating a natural cycle. This constant humidity promotes the growth of tropical plants and mosses. Open terrariums, meanwhile, require regular watering but avoid the risk of mold.

Plant selection and arrangement

For a successful terrarium, choose plants with similar needs. Miniature ferns, fittonias and mosses thrive in the humidity of a closed terrarium. For open versions, favor succulents, cacti and leafy plants that tolerate a drier atmosphere.

The arrangement follows landscaping rules: create depth with different heights, use decorative elements like stones or driftwood to structure the space.

Maintenance and best practices

Watering remains delicate: a few drops are enough for a closed terrarium, a light mist spray for open versions. Watch for excessive condensation, a sign of too much humidity. Place your terrarium in indirect light, never in direct sunlight which would create a harmful greenhouse effect. Regularly prune plants to maintain the balance of your miniature ecosystem.

What is the difference between an open and closed terrarium?

A closed terrarium has a lid that creates a self-regulating humid microclimate, ideal for tropical plants. An open terrarium requires regular watering and is better suited for succulent plants and cacti.

How do I water a terrarium correctly?

For a closed terrarium, a few drops of water are enough once a month. For an open terrarium, use a mist spray one to two times per week depending on the season. Always avoid excess water which can cause mold.

Where should I place my terrarium in my home?

Choose a bright location without direct sunlight. A window facing east or west is ideal. Avoid heat sources like radiators that can unbalance your terrarium ecosystem.

What should I do if mold appears?

Immediately remove affected parts with a clean tweezers, ventilate the terrarium for a few hours and reduce watering. Mold generally indicates excessive humidity or poor ventilation.

Can I create my own terrarium?

Absolutely! All you need is a transparent container, drainage with clay balls, suitable substrate and compatible plants. Our exceptional terrariums can also serve as inspiration for your personal creations.

How long does a terrarium live?

A well-maintained terrarium can last several years. The ecosystem stabilizes over time and some plants can even reproduce naturally, creating a true evolving miniature garden.
