How to Build a Self Contained Terrarium
A terrarium is a sealed indoor garden where leaves release vapor that condenses and re waters the soil. Wardian cases by Nathaniel Ward popularized this self contained ecosystem in Victorian times. Pick a wide neck container with glass lid. Layer gravel charcoal soil and plant mix. Place plants with space to grow. Maintain by light misting and venting as needed. Prune crowded growth and avoid cacti. Choose tropical house plants like ferns begonias palms and mosses for a themed miniature landscape.
