A terrarium is an eye-catching décor option that is terrific for apartments. Terrariums – miniature ecosystems of plants – feature sealable glass containers with transparent walls that allow for both heat and light to enter. That said, not all terrariums must be enclosed or composed of glass. Some terrariums are open containers, while others are made of clear heavy plastic. It’s entirely up to the user’s aesthetic preference for what type of terrarium container to use.

There are many different options you can choose from for what plants to keep in your terrarium. Some outstanding options are:

• Starfish plants

• Moss

• Baby’s tears

• Golden clubmoss

• African violets

• Strawberry begonias

• Creeping figs

• Variegated spider ferns

• Air plants

• And more

Creating and caring for a terrarium cannot only add a pleasing aesthetic to your home, but it has the potential to boost the oxygen levels of a room, providing an improved overall living environment. But, as with any indoor plant system, be mindful of keeping the space around the plants clean and free of dirt, water, or other messes.
