Terrarium

I 1st come across terrarium during a visit to the ‘World Orchid Conference’. Terrarium i would described as an minituare indoor garden typically housed in a glass container.

Terrarium basically consists of 4 layers. Drainage layer, Charcoal Layer, Soil Layer and Mulch Layer.

Drainage layer consists of fine gravels that allow excess water to be collected.

Charcoal layer purpose is to absorb odour and toxic gases while soil is for plant potting.
