There's a solution for you if you would really love to have an indoor herb garden<\/a> but do not have the resources or a green thumb to take care of them – a terrarium (a self-contained plant habitat). Once you have set-up the terrarium and closed the lid (on the jar or other container you have selected) the plants within create their own ecology “all you have to do is enjoy it.<\/p>\n

The options for terrarium containers are only limited by your inspiration. Historically a smaller aquarium is utilized with a lid but a glass jar or other container will work nicely too. Plastic will work too , just make sure that it is a clear plastic or you won't be able to approve of your work once it is finished. <\/p>\n

Whatever size or material you select for your terrarium the most important factor is that it does not leak. You want the water and moisture to remain inside for it to work and you do not need a mess inside your house.<\/p>\n

The plants that you select should all thrive in similar conditions and grow well in a wet environment. Popular plants to put into a terrarium are carnivorous (Venus Fly Trap, sundew, or pitch plant) or forest plants (chamaedorea palms, tiny ferns or fittonia). <\/p>\n

Terrariums are a low-maintenance indoor garden. They need indirect daylight (not too bright) and no water is needed after the opening water is added. The heat from inside the terrarium vaporizes the water and then it condenses on the lid falling back down to the plants. This process will continue keeping your plants alive. If there's too much water present, you might need to vent the terrarium (with a vented lid or opening the top a small amount) just be certain to keep an eye on the soil’s moisture level (not too damp or dry).<\/p>\n
