What is Terrarium?
A terrarium is like an aquarium, but for plants instead of fish. It is made in just about any glass container. It is planted to look like a miniature garden or forest enclosed in its own little world.

You can easily make a beautiful terrarium yourself.

Choosing the Container

I choose a minimalist-looking small glass pot, it is fully clear so all the contents inside the container will be visible. It is an open container. You can use any glass container, just make sure it is big enough for all the stuff.

Adding Pebbles/ Stones

I was unable to find some colorful pebbles so I used some ordinary pieces of stones. I added a thick layer of the pebbles (rocks). If you can find any colorful/beautiful pebbles/stones.

Adding Soil

I added some rocks to the edges and soil in between so all the soil doesn't seep under the rock layer, the soil I use is from my other plant pots.

Adding the Plant

I added a small Ajwain Plant to the container and added one more layer of soil to cover the plant base and to support it from the bottom. You can choose any plant, just make sure it is small enough for the container and doesn't require too much care.

Adding Some Decorations

I added some Orbeez for some color and it also provides moisture as the current weather is hot. You can add any decoration to the container or the plant.
