The beauty of a closed terrarium is that it can be a self-sufficient ecosystem – a miniature world sealed in a glass bottle. It means that it’s possible to mirror the natural environments you love from all over the world under glass, without worrying about whether the plants are suited to the British climate. A terrarium can be a micro-landscape of the country that inspired it, with its own unique bio-atmosphere and vegetation. The glass walls let in sunlight, allowing the plants to photosynthesise, encouraging evaporation to create an independent water cycle. So you can have your holiday on your shelf for years to come.
