When you cant grow outdoors, create an indoor garden that fits on a tabletop
We love planting unusual tropical plants inside glass containers to create small, fascinating worlds. They invite you in for a closer look and provide a perfect escape from the weather outside. Terrariums are east to care for and don't require any special skills for success.
Candy Floriculture recommends you to shop for your own components, as described in the step-by-step guide below (Candy Floriculture provides you everything you need to get started)
What you Need
- A Planting Container
- Plants
- Soil
- Charcoal
You may already have a container that you like to showcase; if not, you can find a large glass containers - either open at the top or closed - at our Nursery @ 567 Thomson Road.
Closed containers hold more humidity and create a jungle-like atmosphere. Open containers are ideal for cactus and succulent gardens, as well as other plants that prefer less humidity and create a jungle-like atmosphere. Open containers are ideal for cactus and succulent gardens, as well as other plants that prefer less humidity. Clear, smooth glass offers the best view of the plants.
Before setting plants into the terrarium, move them around on the table top to decide on the best combination and arrangement.
Starting with largest plant, gently remove as much of the soil and white perlite as you can from the root mass. Trim overly long roots to help fit them into the container. We like to place the tallest plant toward the back or off-center to create an asymmetrical design.
Some pots may have more than one plant in them. You can divide these and place the smaller plants around the terrarium to create unity or rhythm in your design.
Accessorize!, You can add moisture-resistant objects to your design. I'm trying a tillandsia or air plant to a piece of driftwood.
Terrariums don't require much, more that occasional watering and trimming. I use a small watering can or a little cup to water down the inside surface of the container, so that i don't disturb the plants. Its important to keep the water level just below the screen so that the soil doesn't get saturated. Add water as needed to keep the coal wet.
