Terrarium Essentials: Plant Care, Maintenance, and Longevity

  • What plants grow best in a Classic Victorian-style Terrarium?

    Plant Selection

    What plants grow best in a Fairy Tale Scene Terrarium?

    Tropical plants such as ferns, mosses, and orchids flourish in a Fairy Tale Scene Terrarium, benefiting from its high humidity and indirect light. Succulents can also be a good fit for open terrariums where ventilation is ample.

    Can houseplants be used in a terrarium?

    Absolutely. Houseplants like peperomias and small ferns thrive in terrariums, particularly those with open designs where they do not need excessive humidity.

  • Do terrariums need sunlight?

    Terrarium Care

    How often should you water a Fairy Tale Scene Terrarium?

    In closed terrariums, watering is infrequent—typically every few weeks, depending on plant needs and humidity levels. For open terrariums, check the soil regularly and water when it feels dry to the touch, usually about once a week.

    Do terrariums need sunlight?

    Terrariums thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can overheat the plants, so aim for 4 to 6 hours of indirect light per day to keep your plants healthy and happy.

  • Maintenance & Lifespan

    How long do Fairy Tale Scene Terrariums last?

    With proper care, these terrariums can last for many years. Maintaining the right balance of light, moisture, and plant health is crucial for their long-term durability.

    How do you prevent mold in a terrarium?

    To prevent mold, ensure good airflow and manage humidity levels effectively. Occasionally ventilate the terrarium and use activated charcoal to help control excess moisture and keep your plants thriving.
