Waiting in Woods

A terrarium is a tiny weather system. The biggest mistake is treating it like a normal pot.

Where to keep it?

Think bright, no direct sun.

• A well-lit spot indoors, away from harsh sunlight (terrariums can overheat quickly).

How much watering?

Most terrariums need surprisingly little water.

• Only use drinking water
• Use spray bottle to avoid overwatering
• For open jar, spray lightly when the soil looks dry or the leaves seem limp
• For closed jar, you may not need to spray for months. Only do so when soil looks dry or leaves look limp

Other care tips

• Remove dead leaves quickly (they mould first).
• If mould appears, open the lid for airflow and reduce watering.
