Plants for Terrariums

Ferns are popular in terrariums for their lush foliage and ability to thrive in humid environments.

Examples: Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum), Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus), Button Fern (Pellaea rotundifolia)

Care Tips: Keep the soil consistently moist, provide indirect light, and maintain high humidity.

Mosses add a soft, green carpet to terrariums and thrive in low-light, high-humidity conditions.

Examples: Sheet Moss (Hypnum), Cushion Moss (Leucobryum), Fern Moss (Thuidium)

Care Tips: Mist regularly to keep the moss moist and provide indirect light to prevent drying out.

Succulents are drought-tolerant plants that store water in their leaves, making them suitable for dry terrariums.

Examples: Echeveria, Haworthia, Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)

Care Tips: Use well-draining soil, provide bright light, and water sparingly.

Carnivorous plants add an exotic touch to terrariums and thrive in nutrient-poor, humid environments.

Examples: Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes), Sundew (Drosera)

Care Tips: Use distilled water, keep the soil moist, and provide bright, indirect light.

Vines are ideal for terrariums, as they can climb and trail, adding vertical interest.

Examples: Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila), English Ivy (Hedera helix), Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Care Tips: Provide indirect light, keep the soil moderately moist, and prune regularly to control growth.

Bromeliads are striking plants that can grow as epiphytes, making them perfect for terrariums.

Examples: Guzmania, Tillandsia, Neoregelia

Care Tips: Keep the central cup filled with water, provide bright, indirect light, and maintain high humidity.

Orchids bring an elegant touch to terrariums with their exotic blooms and varied growth habits.

Examples: Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, Dendrobium

Care Tips: Use orchid bark, provide indirect light, and maintain high humidity.

Tropical plants thrive in the warm, humid environment of a terrarium, offering lush foliage and vibrant colors.

Examples: Fittonia, Calathea, Anthurium

Care Tips: Keep the soil moist, provide indirect light, and maintain high humidity.
