Have you ever wanted to bring nature indoors in the most charming, low-maintenance way possible? Then it's time to fall in love with terrariums – tiny, self-contained ecosystems in glass that are as stylish as they are simple to care for. I recently visited a beautiful garden center and filmed some of their stunning setups. I'm not selling them – just capturing and sharing the inspiration! 📸✨
A terrarium is a miniature garden inside a glass container. Some are closed (which creates a self-sustaining ecosystem) while others are open (ideal for succulents and air plants). They're perfect for small spaces, low light homes, or anyone who just loves having a bit of nature nearby.
The ones I saw included lush green plants like Fittonia, moss, and compact tropicals – all thriving inside beautiful glass jars.
Low maintenance – some only need watering every few weeks
Stylish – adds a natural design element to any room
Fun to create – a satisfying DIY project
Great for gifts – personal and meaningful
Eco-conscious – often made with recycled glass and reused containers
Here's how you can make your own, with just a few materials:
A clean glass jar (with or without a lid)
Small stones or gravel (for drainage)
Optional: activated charcoal (helps control moisture & odor)
Potting soil
Small plants – like moss, Fittonia, ferns, or Peperomia
Spray bottle with water
Tweezers, chopsticks or a spoon (for arranging)
Add a layer of stones to the bottom of your jar.
If using, sprinkle a thin layer of activated charcoal.
Add your soil – enough to comfortably hold your plants.
Gently plant your greenery using tweezers if needed.
Decorate with moss, stones, or anything else that brings it to life.
Lightly mist with water – especially for closed terrariums.
Place in indirect sunlight, and enjoy watching your tiny world grow. 🌱
Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just dipping your toes into the world of greenery, a terrarium is a beautiful way to bring life into your home. With just a few simple materials and a touch of creativity, you can build your very own tiny jungle.
So why not carve out a little time this weekend to get your hands dirty and create something magical? Visit your local garden center for plants, supplies, and endless inspiration – your perfect glass garden might be just a jar away. 🌱✨
