An indoor terrarium is a fun, low maintenance addition to your indoor garden. A terrarium is simply an enclosed ecosystem, so the specific type of terrarium can vary depending on what you want. We recommend them for beginners because of the easy maintenance and general resilience of the plants inside, although some are easier than others!
Today we’re covering 5 different ideas for indoor terrariums to get you started!
