  • The SIX Most Reliable Terrarium Plants
    Making a terrarium at home is easy with these beginner terrarium plants. In this terrarium guide, I’ll talk you through each one and show you how I use them in my terrarium builds. Pilea libanensis/Pliea glauca, Selaginella uncinata/peacock spikemoss, miniature ivy/Hedera helix ‘minima’, Ficus quercifolia/Ficus thunbergii/Oak leaf Ficus and Soleirolia soleirolii are such easy terrarium plants to use and look fantastic. Making a terrarium for beginners can be a daunting task but this list of plants will make life a lot easier!

      I’m in QLD Australia but the Fittonia ‘nerve plant’ LOVES life in a terrarium.. planted a couple before I knew anything about substrate etc and about 2 years later it grows prolifically and is so bright and beautiful!

    i have recently taken interest in terrariums after watching your video
    can you advice me, can i make closed terrariums using an alocasia azlanii and alocasia melo?
    both are slow growing alocasias and are unpredictable in where is live, hence i thought could they live and thrive in a terrarium?
    my further questions would be where the plant will get its nutrients from.
    thanks for your expert guide, if you reply, which i humbly dont expect you would but i hope you will
