It’s no secret that potted houseplants are a homemaker’s secret weapon. Let the vines of a pothos plant drape over a shelf, propagate beautiful eucalyptus and hang it in the bathroom, or reserve a corner in your living room for an ever-expanding fiddle leaf fig. Whether the greenery is used to take up space, create a decorative accent, or cleanse the air, you can be sure it will brighten up any room.
Potted plants get the job done, but terrariums are a true conversation starter. The homemade, indoor garden pieces suit any coffee table, desk, or shelf, and you can customize them to display all of your favorite plants. Not to mention, creating your own is fun and easy.
Creating a terrarium comes down to a little bit of science since not all plants are fit for the ecosystem in which terrariums create (we’ll cover this more in the next section). Here’s a complete guide on how to make a terrarium yourself.
