Open Terrarium Care


Water


Make sure to water your plants with clean water such as bottled water or filtered. Use a mister or syringe to avoid over-watering.


Lighting


Bright, indirect light is best for your new open terrarium. Avoid full sun exposure so you don’t fry the plants.


Health


Green Moss: moss is a good indicator of a Terrarium’s overall health. For example, too much water = dark soggy brown or black. Not enough water = dry light brown or tan.


Mushrooms: when your terrarium is happy and healthy, you will see tiny mushrooms sprouting up through the moss. This is a lucky sign! Good job!


Fertilizer


Fertilizing is not too important, but you should give your plants some plant food if they become weak.




Dead plants will need to be replaced immediately. Come see us - we have the individual plants available. Plants that thrive in terrariums are most indoor plants that need low light and medium water. Some suggested terrarium-friendly plants include salaginella, small ferns, polka dot plant, peperomia, mini orchids and air plants.
