TROPICAL DELIGHT

I planted this terrarium recently and I just love such simple tall glass containers which are not too thick and without any corners or bends below the lid. This allows the plants within the container to be showcased to maximum effect since visibility of the plants is not an issue.

The only drawback of this container is the ill-fitting lid which is not exactly air tight, thus allowing moisture in the air to escape, and hence requiring occasional misting of the plants in the container to maintain the high moisture content.


The plants used were the usual Fittonia cultivars and a Cordyline terminalis cultivar.
