Terrarium Guide

Whether it's indoors or out, a Terrarium will make a wonderful addition to your Container Garden.

Have you stumbled upon this page with no idea what one consists of? Or maybe thought it was spelled "terranium".

Never fear, you did land at the right place.

Why??

Benefits

As a miniature ecosystem, they can provide years of beauty and enjoyment for any gardener, pet owner, family member, or visitor.

Also never overlook the perfect match for children. Their minds can sore away in imagination as they construct and maintain their work of art.

As said before, being perfect for indoors as well as outdoors, this garden is perfectly transportable as well. Bring it in during the winter, take it out during the warmer months!

More Benefits

This type of gardening gives a great opportunity to garden plants that you wouldn't normally be able to garden due to your specific climate conditions.

Some gardeners would prefer to garden plants that lean toward the tropical side, while others prefer plants that thrive in dry conditions.

What am I talking about?

For example, if you live in a dry desert climate, ferns would normally be out of your reach. However, with this unique form of Container Gardening, a hot humid environment is achievable. Therefore, ferns or mosses would now be within your reach.

The Plan:

Learn the answers to some common questions like: What's best, cork bark or Styrofoam for a background?

And whether you plan on including reptiles, insects, spiders, or scorpions in your container, you need to know how to plan, build, plant, and maintain your investment.

So....in these next few pages, we'll not only learn how to make a Terrarium, we'll discuss the best location, how to choose lighting, and even provide videos to make the process that much easier.

Enjoy!!
