We went to the nursery and asked what plants would do well in there and were told that some small ferns love the moisture and we had one that lived for a few years in there so that would be our recommendation. Not sure about anything flowering though- maybe just visit a nursery and ask an expert?

I have always loved the idea of having plants inside my house. I have tried to put one a number of times, but most of them did not survive. Aside from orchids, what other flowering plants will be able to survive the environment of a terranium? Since most plants need constant exposure to sunlight, how do you make sure that the plants you put inside the terranium, receive the right amount?

Thank You!

Hey Katie,

We’re wondering if your pants are infested with bugs when you’re putting them under the glass. We have never had an issue with fruit flies when it comes to ours, and we actually wonder how they can be getting under your terrarium anyway. Which is why we think they might be in the plants to start with. And for the plant’s health you’ll want it to not touch the glass at all (it should be comfortably confined inside without brushing up against the glass) so you’ll want to get something bigger if your plants grows quickly. Our small fern hasn’t grown much in the entire time that we’ve had it so the 12″ vase has been great for us. Hope it helps!

Hey Heather,

We definitely encourage you to think outside the pot! There are lots of small ceramic containers at Target or Bed Bath & Beyond that are meant as serving dishes, ramekins, and cups that make excellent little planters. Hope it helps! Happy hunting…
