I got this new terrarium as a guest gift for attending a wedding. It came with a cute note from the bride and groom saying essentially “take care of this terrarium as you would a loving relationship.” So my boyfriend and I take care of it like it’s our child. We didn’t think it would survive longer than a month because we’ve never taken care of a terrarium before and we didn’t really do much other than spray it with water once a month or so. It is now about 4 months old! Last month, we trimmed any dead or overgrown foliage. We’re so happy that it’s still alive!
Blue shrimp jar update 🦐 Was dealing with personal obstacles and stopped taking care of it for a few months. Sadly, a lot of the shrimp died off. This is it after a heavy trim and new rocks added ✨⭐️ Hoping to see the shrimp population to bounce back
Happy Hoya… Hi plant friends - I have 1 Hoya Flamingo Dream & just received 2 other Hoya species These are Hoya sp Villosa & Callistophylla. Do these stay within a dormancy stage in winter as my initial Flamingo is in leaf but hasn’t grown since purchase ( b4 Xmas). What are hints & tips in reference to soil substrate, watering and feed type to kick start the thriving stage rather than the surviving stage 😀 Thx in advance …. Chris
Just over a month of growth in my dart frog enclosure 🐸
Hi everyone, I'm planning to make a load of terrariums with repurposed glass jars I've got. Excited! I've read that pilea peperomioides works well in a terrarium as they like humidity. Luckily I have tonnes of them and recently I've noticed there are plenty of teeny babies popping up, which is good timing! My question is: should I water propogate them first? Or can I get away with popping them straight in the substrate in the terrarium? (I bought special terrarium soil)
Completely redone dart frog enclosure to create more useable space. Time to wait for it to grow in 😬 Can you spot which plants I’ve chosen to use for this set up? 🌱
My first one. Yay, nay? I just know these dont live without a terrarium especially in this climate. I think fittonias are rly pretty and haven't tried in many years. I originally used perlite as the drain layer but I messed up and ended up just mixing it all. Id like to add moss but I dont have any. 😔
My dart frog enclosure… I think I have to completely redo it soon 😬 Can you guess what plants are in it?
Not sure if this kind of set up is welcomed here… but here is a no filter shrimp set up I’ve had going 🦐
Big Pokémon terrarium featuring Bulbasaur sporting two air plants and his Pokeball. The plants are a mini pink Syngonium, Frog Feet Ficus and the air plants in a large glass jar that once housed ice cream cones at our local pharmacy/soda fountain. Covid put the soda fountain out of business.
My very first terrarium featuring a golden bug on a "log". The plants are tillandsia (air plant), Blue Baby Tears, Heart Hoya (leaf only), and British Soldiers lichen in a large squarish jar.
I made my first mini terrarium yesterday. I have been saving interesting liquor bottles to use. Nerve Plant in a gin bottle.
Just got this all set up. The waterfall needs a few adjustments but I’m excited to see this grow and fill out. Can you spot and identify any plants? Tree frog & cherry shrimp coming soon…
Gearing up for my plant sale next weekend, I’m temporarily but fully in my terrarium era. Stocked up on supplies today. 😁
This spring I added a cork to this terrarium and the fern finally started thriving. It's kind of a jungle now. Should I remove some of it?
Hey folks! I got this terrarium a few months ago as a gift. I don't know much about terrariums or their care, or even what plants are in it. Anybody know anything about this or have any tips?
I tediously put back the pink panther in her terrarium and the mom plant is coming back stronger then ever and is already ready to be pruned again 🥲🫠 I didn’t think this through so any tips going forward with little roots? How do you guys put yours together? I added the water they were rooted in I heard that helps? Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday! It’s my plant chore day too!
Hello so I’m kind of new to terrariums and I maybe making a terrarium for my Venus flytrap and I was wondering if there was any plants other then moss I can put in with it for decoration and to look less empty
Are my begonias roots big enough to put in my terrarium?
