Terrarium Friendly Plants – Natural Support For Thriving Plants

You’ll find a range of plants suited for closed terrariums with higher humidity, as well as open terrarium plants that enjoy airflow and indirect light. If you’re starting fresh or adding to an existing setup, our plants for terrarium offers something for every style. With the right combination, it’s easy to build a peaceful, miniature landscape that lasts.

Whether you’re starting your first closed terrarium or topping up an existing one, you’ll find options here that suit low to medium light spaces and don’t outgrow their container too quickly. Many of these houseplants also work beautifully in open dish gardens or glass jars, making them great for gifting or DIY projects.

Caring for terrarium plants involves providing the right amount of light, water, and airflow. Most terrariums do best in bright, indirect sunlight, as direct sun can overheat the container and harm the plants. Watering should be done sparingly – closed terrariums need less water due to trapped humidity, while open ones may need more frequent misting. It’s important to avoid overwatering, as excess moisture can lead to mould or root rot. Regularly check the plants for signs of decay and trim dead leaves to keep the terrarium healthy and attractive.

I ordered this teeny strawberry begonia for a gifted Plantsio Ivy Gen2 smart pot – 6cm is about the size of its pot. Arrived in great condition. Appears happy supplementing its watering needs by the capillary watering system. The pot’s app has many plants, but this one was the safest bet. Plus, pet safe! Attached 2 photos after just planted. Happy to take more photos if the HM team would like them.
