Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your terrarium plants is generally straightforward, especially once they are settled into their new environment. For optimal growth, place your terrarium or fairy garden in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can overheat the enclosed space and scorch the delicate foliage of your live terrarium plants. A north or east-facing window is often ideal. Maintain consistent, moderate temperatures, typically between 65-75°F (18-24°C), and protect them from sudden temperature fluctuations or drafts.

Watering is crucial but less frequent in closed terrariums. For closed terrariums, mist the inside walls of the container with distilled or filtered water when you notice condensation decreasing significantly, or the soil surface appears dry. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. For open fairy gardens or terrariums, water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring good drainage. Use a well-draining terrarium-specific potting mix that retains some moisture but allows excess water to escape. Fertilization is rarely needed for terrariums due to their slow growth; if you choose to fertilize, use a highly diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season. Prune any overgrown foliage to maintain the desired shape and prevent plants from touching the glass, which can lead to rot. Regularly inspect your indoor terrarium plants for any signs of pests or disease and address them promptly to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
