Terrarium
A terrarium is a self-contained miniature ecosystem, typically housed in a glass container, that mimics the conditions of a rainforest. It allows various plants to thrive in a humid environment with minimal maintenance. Terrariums are visually appealing, improve indoor air quality, and provide a calming presence in homes and offices. They require little watering, indirect light, and occasional pruning, making them perfect for both plant enthusiasts and those with busy lifestyles.
How to Care for Croton
- Watering: Terrariums generally need little watering. If condensation forms on the glass walls, moisture levels are adequate. If it appears dry, lightly mist the plants.
- Light: Place terrariums in indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can overheat the environment and harm the plants.
- Temperature: Keep terrariums in a typical room temperature (between 65°F and 75°F or 18°C to 24°C). Avoid extreme heat or cold.
- Ventilation: If your terrarium is closed, occasionally open the lid to allow fresh air in and prevent excess moisture buildup.
- Pruning: Regularly check the plants and trim any excess leaves or branches to prevent overcrowding and maintain the terrarium's aesthetic.
