How to clean your terrarium?
Maintaining a plant terrarium requires some care to ensure the health and growth of the plants.
Here are some tips for properly caring for your terrarium:
1. Watering
Frequency: Watering depends on the type of plants and the type of terrarium (closed or open). Closed terrariums require less watering than open terrariums.
Method: Use a spray bottle to lightly moisten the soil. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
2. Light
Exposure: Place the terrarium in a spot where it receives plenty of indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can overheat and burn the plants.
Duration: If natural light is insufficient, you can use grow lights.
3. Temperature and Humidity
Temperature: Maintain a stable room temperature, typically between 18°C and 24°C.
Humidity: For closed terrariums, humidity is often high. For open terrariums, you can increase humidity by regularly misting with water.
4. Plant Maintenance
Pruning: Regularly prune plants that become too large or bulky to prevent them from overshadowing other plants.
Cleaning: Remove dead or diseased leaves to prevent disease and promote good air circulation.
5. Substrate
Checking: Check the substrate to ensure it is not too compacted. If necessary, lightly aerate it.
Replacement: Replace the substrate every 1-2 years to maintain a healthy environment for the plants.
6. Ventilation
Closed terrarium: Open the lid from time to time to allow air circulation and prevent excessive condensation.
Open terrarium: Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold growth.
7. Pest Control
Inspection: Regularly inspect the plants for signs of pests.
Treatment: In case of an infestation, use natural solutions or appropriate products to eliminate them without harming the plants.
By following these tips, you can maintain a healthy and aesthetically pleasing terrarium. Remember that each type of plant may have specific needs, so adjust your care accordingly.
