Pair up smaller terrariums
Terrariums can be paired together or kept individually as ornaments. The pairs do not necessarily have to be alike. Use dissimilar shapes and sizes with different plants inside and keep them together at a single place. You can choose the belldome shaped terrariums for display on the dining table, or tray shaped terrariums for a mini-indoor garden with different plants. You can also pair the terrarium with beautiful and bright colored vases, artwork and other designs.

All you need for making these is a generous supply of beautiful pebbles and crystals, a water-growing plant, and a clear glass terrarium. Support the plant with the pebbles at the base and fill with fresh clear water.

Hanging terrariums
Indoor terrariums can also be mounted on the roof to create a beautiful hanging indoor garden. Glass globes with hooks on the top can be mounted using reliable hangers and filled with colorful plants and pebbles for a beautiful effect. You can use succulent plants in these terrariums as these require lesser direct sunlight and water for their survival. Air plants are some plants that do not need regular water or soil for maintaining them. Immerse these in water once in a week for one hour and your work is done. These tiny plants can be used in athin bottle shaped glass terrariums and suspended from the roof.
