Terrarium and Bottle Gardens
A terrarium is a self-contained, decorative ecosystem typically enclosed in glass, designed for growing plants. It mimics natural habitats, often featuring soil, plants, moss, and sometimes small decorative elements like rocks or figurines. Terrariums are low-maintenance, making them ideal for indoor gardening, and can be sealed for humidity-loving plants or open for those requiring less moisture.

A terrarium scape with semi-aquatic plants differs from a regular terrarium by incorporating both land and water elements. It often includes a water feature or shallow pool to support plants that thrive in moist or partially submerged conditions. Semi-aquatic plants, like mosses, ferns, and certain tropical species, are used to bridge the transition between the terrestrial and aquatic zones. This creates a dynamic, multi-environment habitat that mimics wetlands, offering visual diversity and supporting unique plant species not suited to a standard dry terrarium.
Terrarium scapes with semi-aquatic plants are surprisingly easy to create and maintain. They require minimal tools and care, as the water feature helps maintain humidity while the plants thrive in their natural, low-maintenance environment.
