care tips eco system in a jar
In order for the plants inside your terrarium to develop, they need first of all sunlight for the photosynthesis process to take place. Therefore, it's good to place the jar in rooms on the north or west side, where the sun's rays aren't too strong.
Temperature fluctuations have a negative effect on the functioning of the 'mini glass ecosystem', which is why it should especially be avoided in the kitchen, bathroom and near radiators.
Water the plants in your terrarium immediately after planting, either by gently spraying the inside of the container or by applying the water directly to the soil with a long pipette. Water your mini-ecosystem sparingly, bearing in mind that the water will not run out of the terrarium, but will return to the ground, condensing on the walls of the container. Only soft water is suitable for watering the ecosystem, i.e. filtered or boiled and cooled water.
The optimal watering frequency for your mini forest terrarium is up to three times a year. It largely depends on the type of plants you put in it, as well as the humidity level inside the container. We water the composition in the jar when the soil is very dry, and the glass shows no signs of evaporation inside.
