Flower power - Terrarium update





Today I'd like to give you a small update on my plant terrariums (you can read the original post here). The big fern bowl looks just like it before so I think there's no need for new photos. Just to remind you (old photo):


However, a few other terrariums appeared :) I wanted to achieve something like this:

cyclamen under a cloche



And I have this:

mini orchid in full bloom, the day I bought it

shedding blossom


After some time a new bud appeared :)


and my mini orchid is blooming again

There's no denying, an orchid closed in glass looks beautiful :) I watered mine only once - just after putting it inside the container.


I put it still in its pot which I covered with dried moss.



Here's the very first orchid that is going to bloom again after it's lost blossom completely. I never know where to cut the stalk so once the orchid loses its flowers it stays that way until I have to get rid of it (usually because of yellow leaves or other disease). So this small guy is a really nice surprise :)


Here's what it looked like when I bought it


And here is my cyclamen plant in a terrarium. Unfortunately I didn't have a proper camera at the time and now the plant doesn't have flowers and stays in a cool dark place. 




That's all for today so thank you so much for stopping by.
Have a great week! :)

  1. This is Lovely! I am very interested in creating a mini orchid terrarium. How are the mini orchids doing now? still blooming? any advice on choosing a container for your terbium?

  2. thank you;) actually they are blooming right now (fourth time),I don't water them or open the terrarium and they're doing just fine :)
    I suppose you can use whatever you want as long as it can be closed and the orchids fit in without touching the glass.

  5. This is cute, but not optimal for mini phals. They grow on trees in the wild, with air and wind to dry them. A closed wet environment leads to mold and root rot, shortening it's life, or at the very least, not living to it's potential. These are capable of many blooms at one time, not just one or 2
