Hi everyone! I’m wanting to make my own terrarium. I think I want a closed one that holds humidity. What plant do you recommend and what supplies should I look into?!

pilea, begonia, peperomia, and most aroids will do well in a terrarium. any plant that prefers high humidity (think: tropicals) will appreciate life in a terrarium. i haven’t made one yet but i’m planning to use solum aquarium stratum as the substrate in mine

Heart leaf fern is in my closed Terrarium and does very well.
