1. Humidity
It’s generally known (but frequently forgotten) that houseplants require regular watering. However, terrariums are unique in that you don’t usually need to water them very often. Humidity is the most reliable indicator of whether your plants are getting enough water. It’s the end result of having a lot of water in the system.
You can assess humidity by measuring the amount of condensation on the glass. You should also look for wilting, dried-out leaves, and a slew of other warning indicators if it’s always foggy up. It will be influenced by what you’re growing in your terrarium, but if it’s constantly hazy, you’ve over watered it.
2. Remove dead plants early
Terrariums can’t exactly mimic a natural environment in the same way as a real one can. They lack the variety of species needed to break down organic matter effectively. Any dead plant material will just decompose if left unchecked. We would advise removing plants if they begin to rot or die. It will assist in keeping the equilibrium and lowering the likelihood of a catastrophic rot spreading throughout your plants.
3. Prevent direct sunlight
A terrarium requires sunshine, but don’t forget that they’re essentially a greenhouse. It’s easy to burn your plants in direct sunlight. Simply keep an eye on where you’re placing your terrariums and what sort of light your plants require. You can choose to go for low-light plants since they’re much more flexible in terms of where you may put them in your home. If they require additional light, you may always use a tiny grow lamp.
4. Be vigilant for mould
Mould is the hidden adversary that lurks in the corners of all terrariums. It’s mildew and dust, but terrariums are a little different from any other plants in your home. They’re enclosed and have high humidity, which encourages mould growth. You can find a slew of terrarium care products that claim to be safe for terrariums, which will kill mould without damaging plants.
5. Clean your jar
Dirty terrarium jars not only looks bad (and half the charm of terrariums is being able to view them), but it also prevents the plants from obtaining adequate light. To remove any fibers from the glass, clean it using a lint-free cloth and warm purified water.
