Description
- What are the best plants to use in a terrarium?
The best plants for terrariums include ferns, Fittonia, Begonia, Pilea, and Peperomia. These plants thrive in high-humidity environments and are well-suited for the enclosed space of a terrarium. - Which types of plants are suitable for a terrarium?
Terrariums are ideal for humidity-loving, compact, and slow-growing plants. Choose plants that thrive in indirect light and can tolerate the moist conditions of a terrarium environment. - Why should I avoid using succulents or cacti in a terrarium?
Succulents and cacti prefer dry, well-draining environments and are not suitable for closed terrariums. The high humidity in terrariums can cause these plants to rot. - How do I manage overgrown terrarium plants?
If your terrarium plants become overgrown, trim them back to maintain the space. Use the cuttings to propagate new plants, either within the same terrarium or in separate pots. - Can I divide terrarium plants to create more?
Yes, many terrarium plants, such as ferns, Fittonia, Begonia, Pilea, and Peperomia, can be split and propagated. You can also propagate some plants, like Fittonia, Peperomia, and Pilea, from cuttings. - How do you care for plants in a terrarium?
Terrarium plant care involves providing indirect light, maintaining high humidity by misting occasionally, and avoiding overwatering. Use a well-draining soil mix and keep the terrarium clean by removing dead leaves and debris. - What are the best containers for making a terrarium?
The best containers for terrariums are glass jars, bowls, or containers with lids to retain moisture for closed terrariums. Open containers are suitable for plants that prefer less humidity. Choose a container based on the plants’ needs and your aesthetic preference. - How often should terrarium plants be watered?
Watering frequency for terrarium plants depends on the type of plants and the environment. Closed terrariums usually require less frequent watering. Check the soil moisture and water only when it begins to dry out. - Can I use artificial lighting for my terrarium?
Yes, LED grow lights can be used for terrariums, especially in areas with low natural light. Make sure to provide light that mimics the natural conditions suitable for your terrarium plants. - What type of soil is best for terrariums?
A well-draining soil mix is crucial for terrarium plants. We recommend using Highland Moss Premium Terrarium Soil, available on our website, to ensure the best growth and health of your terrarium plants. Adding a layer of charcoal can help with odour control and keep the soil fresh. - Do terrarium plants need fertiliser, and how often?
Terrarium plants typically need little to no fertiliser. If you choose to fertilise, use a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser sparingly during the growing season to prevent nutrient build-up in the soil. - How can I prevent mould and pests in my terrarium?
To prevent mould, avoid overwatering and ensure proper air circulation by occasionally opening the terrarium. Introducing beneficial insects like isopods and springtails can help, as they eat decaying organic matter, reducing the risk of mould. Regularly remove dead or decaying plant matter and check for pests, treating them with natural insecticides if necessary. - What are common problems with terrarium plants and how to solve them?
Common issues include overgrowth, yellowing leaves, mould, and pests. Regular maintenance such as trimming, proper watering, and ensuring good air circulation can help prevent these problems. - How do I properly prune my terrarium plants?
Pruning terrarium plants helps maintain their shape and size. Use clean scissors or pruning shears to trim back overgrown or dead leaves. Regular pruning encourages new growth and keeps the terrarium looking neat and healthy.
