Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your terrarium live plants is a rewarding experience, and with a few simple guidelines, you can ensure your miniature garden flourishes. For terrariums, the key is to create a balanced ecosystem. Start with a layer of drainage material like pebbles or activated charcoal, followed by a thin layer of sphagnum moss, and then your potting mix. Gently place your 2 inch potted plants, arranging them to create your desired landscape, and then add decorative elements like stones or small figurines for your fairy garden plants.

When it comes to light, most terrarium plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves or cause the terrarium to overheat, especially in a closed environment. A north-facing window or a spot several feet away from a sunny window is usually ideal. Watering needs vary based on whether your terrarium is open or closed. For closed terrariums, water sparingly – a few tablespoons once every few weeks or months might be sufficient, as the moisture recycles within the container. Open terrariums will require more frequent watering, typically when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Always use filtered or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup.

The ideal temperature range for most small indoor plants suitable for terrariums is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid placing your terrarium near drafts, heating vents, or air conditioners, which can cause temperature fluctuations. Fertilization is rarely needed in terrariums; the slow decomposition of organic matter often provides sufficient nutrients. If you notice stunted growth after a year or more, a very diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied. Regularly trim any overgrown plants to maintain the aesthetic and health of your miniature landscape. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly to prevent rot and mold, ensuring your terrarium plant assortment remains vibrant and healthy.
