Download or read book Air Plant Terrarium Guide written by Dr Sandra Carter and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrariums are glass enclosed containers. Think bottle gardening but on a broader spectrum because so long as the container has glass sides, it'll work wonders to build your own mini-garden.Think of it like a miniature greenhouse you can park on a shelf, a bookcase, windowsill or any area of your home to have a beautiful indoor miniature garden.There are two types of terrariums you can buy or build, although technically speaking, one's not even a terrarium. Nevertheless, sellers call them either: -A closed terrarium-An open terrariumNow, the open terrarium's ludicrous because it's against what a terrarium is. The Latin definition of the word 'Terrarium" means enclosed earth - Terra, being Latin for Earth and arium being adapted from aquarium for the enclosure part.Suffice to say, an open terrarium is just a bowl. Or a bottle of Coke cut in half and used as an open top container. Whatever works.The type you use will be determined by the types of plants you're planting and whether they prefer lots of air or high humidity.A closed terrarium, (as in a real one) is best for plants that thrive in humid environments, whereas, an open top container is best for succulents as they prefer air flow over humidity.Many people get terrariums, and then have no idea which plants are going to thrive best in this sort of environment. Terrariums create a pretty cool environment for plants to grow, and you can have yourself an awesome little garden if you get the right plants.The type of plants you use will depend on the type of terrarium you have. Some terrariums are open, whereas others are completely enclosed, and this will play a great role in the plants you choose. What you can't do is mix and match different types of plants to your liking because you need to plant your plants based on the environment they prefer.
