Terrarium plants are back in style.
A terrarium is usually a glass container containing soils and plants, that comes with a cut-out opening which is big enough for you to access to the plants inside for maintenance.
Terrariums are often kept as decorative and ornamental items.
People are living in smaller homes now and they want something that fits on the small spaces.
A miniature glass garden offers a bit of nature to a home or office where we can view our miniature green world every day of our lives.
