An Open Terrarium is well-suited for a wide variety of terrarium plants. As this type of terrarium is exposed to the surrounding air, this indicates that it doesn’t have a water cycle. Therefore, you may find yourself watering the terrarium quite frequently as compared to the other types of Terrariums. However, the biggest benefit you get is that we would be able to control the moisture levels of the terrarium. The types of terrarium plants suitable for this type of terrarium are cacti, aloe succulents and air plants.

One thing to be wary when creating a open terrarium is that the terrarium plants might over grow the height of the container. Hence, you may need to repot your plants to create many more mini ecosystems.

2. Closed Terrarium

Closed Terrarium as the name states is a Terrarium that is enclosed in a glass jar. This is especially suited for terrarium plants that do not require much watering to be able to survive. Due to it being closed, the terrarium is slightly higher in temperature on the inside which actually helps to evaporate all the moisture that comes from both the soil and the plants. This is beneficial as it helps to terrarium plant to grow as it creates a water cycle within the terrarium itself.

Closed Terrarium tend to have a higher life span as compared to those of an open terrarium, that’s if we just left it there without taking care of them. This is because of the nature of a closed terrarium, the water vapour that condenses in the closed jar goes back to the soil and the plant hence as we like to call it, a self-watering terrarium. This creates an endless supply of water for the plant and soil to survive. One key thing to note for a closed terrarium is that it shouldn’t be placed under direct sunlight. This can actually heat up the whole terrarium and might result to it burning the plant in the end.
