Terrariums

About

Terrariums are miniature indoor ecosystems encased in glass containers, offering a unique blend of art and nature. They can be used for decorative purposes, plant cultivation, or even housing small animals. Terrariums are typically categorized into two main types: open and closed systems. Open terrariums allow for gas exchange with the external environment, making them suitable for plants like succulents and cacti. Closed terrariums, on the other hand, create a self-sustaining environment ideal for moisture-loving plants. Terrariums consist of layers such as substrate, hardscape, and plants, each contributing to the ecosystem's balance. The substrate provides nutrients, while the hardscape adds aesthetic appeal and habitat diversity. Closed terrariums operate on the principles of the water cycle and photosynthesis, minimizing the need for maintenance. They are popular for their beauty and ability to thrive with minimal intervention, making them a fascinating addition to any home or office space.
