The SIX Most Reliable Terrarium Plants
Making a terrarium at home is easy with these beginner terrarium plants. In this terrarium guide, I’ll talk you through each one and show you how I use them in my terrarium builds. Pilea libanensis/Pliea glauca, Selaginella uncinata/peacock spikemoss, miniature ivy/Hedera helix ‘minima’, Ficus quercifolia/Ficus thunbergii/Oak leaf Ficus and Soleirolia soleirolii are such easy terrarium plants to use and look fantastic. Making a terrarium for beginners can be a daunting task but this list of plants will make life a lot easier!

I’m in QLD Australia but the Fittonia ‘nerve plant’ LOVES life in a terrarium.. planted a couple before I knew anything about substrate etc and about 2 years later it grows prolifically and is so bright and beautiful! Thanks for your amazing informative videos :D

Pilea glauca no doubt, goes nuts in my terrariums! To point where it's actually a bit annoying 😆 very cool plant though other than that!

My daughter planted some string of turtles in her terrarium and it’s doing really well. She planted it higher up closer to the light source and on a ledge so it gets misted every day with water ( the whole tank does) but it isn’t sitting in damp wet like some of the plants near the bottom.

I recently brought in eight oak leaf ficus.They had recently sprouted and all of them had roots. I love to grow my own plants. I don't have to shop for small plants that are suitable which can be hard to find and I appreciate the plants more when I have grown them.

Thanks for the Video it’s an excellent effort to summarise these plants, with regards to babies tears we have a similar looking plant which is called babies tears and it’s very easy to propagate via cutting and low maintenance heavy duty plant, but as far as I know and experience that’s this plant do not like too much water as it will root the stems and sure too much light I have a number of them at my outside garden which withstand temperatures reaching +50 c during hot summers and that’s why I never tried them in terrarium, I guess this Plant goes under category of succulents and hence can’t be mixed with other plants which usually like humidity, probably there might be more than one type of babies tears I’m not sure

I'm not sure about indefinitely but by pinching out the older leaves you can keep them smaller for longer. I wouldn't do this too often though as it'll negatively impact their vigour

is it normal for my selaginella to get al soggy ugly leaves after putting it in my terrarium for the first time. The leave got wet on top could that be the problem? Or is it part of aclumating? Could too low of light cause it. This happend in 2 days of getting it
