What is a Closed Terrarium?

A closed terrarium is a glass container that holds live moss, tropical plants and other elements sealed in an airtight environment. It uses a nutrient-rich potting mix to support the growth of terrarium plants, creating a miniature version of the natural world. It mimics the natural water cycle and is a self-sustaining habitat that requires very little maintenance. The selection of terrarium plants is crucial, as they need to thrive in the high-humidity environment of a closed terrarium. Closed terrariums are for those who love nature but want a low-effort.
