Plant Types

In terrariums, we ideally use slow growing miniature plants, visually striking and original houseplants and also plants that will adapt to the shape and opening of the terrarium. Many succulents, insectivorous plants and small houseplants are suitable, however not all terrarium models correspond to all plants. So, choosing the best terrarium plants will depend on whether your terrarium is open or closed.

Open terrariums are ideal for plants that prefer arid, dry conditions like succulents, air plants and cacti. On the other hand you should build your closed terrarium using tropical plants that love humidity and heat like mosses, epiphytes, ferns, carnivorous plants and some ornamental plants like the fittonia.

Depending on these conditioning options, the choice of plants and maintenance will be different.
