Fans of decorative colors and plants dream of placing vegetation throughout the house. But not all families have the opportunity to create at least a flower corner, but you really want freshness and comfort in the house!

How the terrarium for flowers works
Terrarium (Florarium) - is a transparent container of a closed or open type, with dense drainage and fertile soil.
- Closed “aquariums” have a greenhouse effect, providing thermophilic plants with the necessary humidity and a comfortable temperature for their maintenance. Who is not able to devote a lot of time to flowing flowers, the content of florariums will become a real find.
- Florarium is created in a small container of glass or plastic type. The most commonly used elegant dishes, bulbs, glass jars of various sizes.
- For the terrarium, only souccetic plants have certain tissues in the leaves, allowing to accumulate water with a margin. This species of plants originally from arid countries, such as cotyledo or maletor.
- The internal structure of the terrarium consists of drainage and soil suitable for those plants that you are going to grow. Drainage is selected according to the principle of beauty, because in the glass container everything is in sight. For drainage, select sea or river decorative pebbles or a special colored drainage sold in any flower store.
- If the terrarium has a closed type, it must be regularly ventilated. Watering plants is carried out only in cases where the soil is dry. Over time, condensate can form on the walls of glass terrarium, this means that you are correctly containing plants, and droplets of moisture create an atmosphere of the jungle.
