Making a terrarium is fun and, when you are repurposing your glass jars you can make one at any size. Terrariums add greenery to small spaces and are an easy way to bring a little bit of nature indoors and learn about plants.

These beautiful gardens can be made with a variety of different plants like ferns, polka dot plants, baby tears, African violets, air plants and more and as they become established, can range from small, simple containers to large, complex ecosystems.

Low maintenance, they can be left alone for weeks or even months at a time. Additionally, terrariums can improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen, they can also be a source of natural humidifiers and can help to create a relaxing and peaceful environment.

Make sure you add a 1-cm layer of gravel to the bottom of the jar and choose a good quality organic potting soil.
