A hanging terrarium is a fantastic way to bring nature into your homewith very little effort, care and shelf-space! As people we have a basic need to connect to nature. Some people have the luxury of space and time to keep lovely, large gardens that satisfies this need. But for many of us who live in smaller homes and live a rushed lifestyle, it’s all too easy for this critical connection to nature to be lost.
Terrariums bring nature indoors and into your life. And they hardly need any care, which makes them especially good for today’s lifestyles. Especially the hanging ones which go wonderfully with modern decor as well as older styles.
I’ve collected some pictures from around the web that should give you some idea of how intriging these terrariums are:

Great, aren’t they?
Of course, you don’t have to buy an off-the-shelf terrarium. Look for glass containers of all shapes and sizes that would be suitable for hanging from a ceiling or room divider.
Air Plants
Air plants are great for putting in hanging glass terrariums. Because they don’t need soil, there’s less in the terrarium to obstruct your view. This is especially important if it is hanging quite high.
