Plants for Terrariums

A closed terrarium is a little world that waters itself. Glass holds the moisture in, soft light comes through, and the plants inside settle into their own slow rhythm. Everything here loves humidity and stays small enough to live happily under a lid.

Start with a lidded Asteridge glass terrarium, then pick two or three plants with different leaf shapes: a marbled peperomia for texture, a prayer plant for color, a pilea for those round coin leaves. Small 3 and 4 inch sizes fit best.
