terrarium care

To care for your closed terrarium, begin by placing it in a location that receives indirect sunlight, as too much direct light can lead to overheating and excessive moisture loss; it’s all about finding that perfect balance.

Monitor the humidity levels inside your glass enclosure; if condensation forms on the walls, your terrarium is thriving, but if it appears too dry, consider lightly misting the plants with water—just a few spritzes will do. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot; instead, observe the soil—if it feels dry a couple of inches down, it’s time to add a few drops of water to keep those green friends happy.

Every few months, take a moment to trim any overgrown plants, ensuring that your miniature ecosystem remains vibrant and healthy while also allowing for air circulation.

Finally, enjoy the art of nature’s balance as you watch your closed terrarium evolve, knowing that caring for it is a delightful expression of your love for the natural world.
