Plant a Terrarium at Home: Bring the Forest Plants Home

Plant a Terrarium at Home - Bring the Forest Plants Home

Book preview:
Terrarium planting is a specialized part of home gardening, but an interesting one. A great many woodland plants which prosper in their natural environments fail to grow at all in the house due to the lack of moisture in the air. Terrariums provide this humid atmosphere and allow you to bring the forest plants home.
The theory behind the terrarium is that in a closed container the moisture which the plants take up through their roots and transpire through their leaves is condensed and eventually returns to the soil again, keeping the plants watered and at the same time keeping the air within the container at a point just below saturation.
Containers to use. If you are thinking of starting your own terrarium you will probably find that you have all the material and equipment you need around the house. Fish tanks, especially those that are not too big and unwieldy, make very good terrariums. All you need for them is a glass top. If you are going to start from scratch, you can build your own container using a flat, low-sided box for the bottom, and fitting it with glass sides which can be taped together, and a glass top.
