Visit the San Diego Botanic Garden: https://sdbg.org/ I met up with John Clements, the Director of Gardens at the San Diego Botanic Garden. He took me behind the scenes in their houseplant greenhouse, home to some of the rarest houseplants in the world - included the fabled Philodendron spiritus sancti, pitcher plants being held as criminal evidence, and some of the coolest terrarium gardens you'll ever see.
I made my first sorta-terrarium! It's all non-soil elements in Eve's baby tank. I put in begonias (some new some old) and the new lil sundew I made a few months ago. It's not airtight but the walls will provide some extra humidity.
Either way, it's plants in a glass. It's fun to make these and it's exciting to speculate which ones will thrive. And how it will develop in there over time..
This is my first one, a couple months old. It's a little murky but it's in good shape, with "new" plants popping up now and then.
