Bringing Nature Indoors Updates Decor
Transform your home with simple DIY terrariums and dish gardens. You can create gardens in almost any kind of container. For enclosed terrariums, we recommend using a glass vessel that does not have drainage. It can be an enclosed terrarium, a lantern, a glass cake plate, and lid or even a mason jar. Any dish or pot can be used for an open container. A teapot and cups can be re-purposed with succulent plantings and mini accents, for example. Liven up your space with your own mini wonderlands or give as gifts from the heart.

Watering
Enclosed containers need far less watering than open containers. We recommend using a baster for easy control of watering. Water well when you first install your plants. Tropical terrariums should be consistently moist. Do lift the lid once in a while to allow fresh air in.
Open containers should be checked for moisture regularly. Depending on your plant choices, you may need to water every couple of days or perhaps once a week. Succulents prefer a dry environment but should be watered about every two weeks.
