We can have plants in various places such as the garden, inside the home, a pot, a planter… or a terrarium, which is also one of the places where they can be grown most easily since they do not need as much care as in any other support, in fact, many experts say that plants in terrariums “take care of themselves”. Although it is clear that it is a somewhat risky and exaggerated statement, it is true that better humidity and temperature conditions can be achieved in terrariums. Next, we leave you a few Tips for caring for plants in terrariums.
How to care for plants in a terrarium
- One of the main ones is pruning and that should be done to any species at the moment when they begin to be too large for the dimensions of the terrarium and can come out or be damaged by colliding with the structure. You must also remove any dead or diseased part so that it does not hinder development, in addition to removing all the parts that you have cut from the interior of the terrarium.
- Very few terrariums require fertilizer, since the fertilizer causes growth too fast for the species that are kept in the terrarium, while the chemicals in the fertilizers can also accumulate in the soil and harm development.
- Terrarium plants can be fertilized when they have been cultivated for more than a year since they begin to be withered, weak and yellowish, so the ideal is to use some soluble product so that they recover the lost life, although always do it in small amounts.
- If you are going to put an animal, make sure it is a species compatible with the plants you have.
- Finally, in the terrarium you must exactly reproduce the conditions of humidity, temperature, light and any other that each plant needs in order to develop correctly. In addition, you should find out if the specific plant you are going to choose has any special conditions for its care.
