How to make a terrarium
You can use different types of containers but they have to be watertight. Watertight means that water can't get out. Once you have chosen your container, pick a type of plant like moss or a small potato. After you have chosen your plant, you can decorate your terrarium.

Facts

- If you use moss, it will flower in a couple of weeks.

- Plants need oxygen so your terrarium won't last very long.

- If you look after your plant if will be pushing up on the lid as if it was trying to get out

- If you give it to much drown but if you give it too much sunlight the reflection off the glass will shrivel up the leaves.

- Terrariums need to be in a warm temperature.
