Terrariums
Terrariums are miniature gardens in glass containers, the magic is keeping the humidity high which in closed terrariums (with lid) means moisture can re-circulate, watering shouldn’t take place more than a few times a year. Alternatively, open terrariums (without lid/open top) are for plants that don’t require high humidity = a bit more watering.
Terrariums are super fun & ideal for an attractive display/centrepieces.
