Plant a Beautiful Terrarium

Add charming touches of green to your home with easy-to-grow terrariums. Surrounded by glass, plants almost go on autopilot -- they'll get the moisture they need even in dry rooms. Click through the next slides to get some inspiration for your terrarium, and then see step-by-step instructions for getting started on slides 9 and 10.

You can create a terrarium with inexpensive, everyday objects, such as a vase sealed with a glass plate (left). In our vase: pretty white-bordered variegated Dizygotheca in the middle, pale green Selaginella emmeliana on the right, a mound of Selaginella apoda at the bottom and button fern in the back left.
