What is a Terrarium?
A closed terrarium is a sealable glass container containing soil and plants. Once the plants are sealed inside they photosynthesise creating heat & oxygen, which in turn creates condensation on the inside of the glass vessel. This is how the terrarium self waters!

They are great too if you are looking for a pet friendly alternative to houseplants.
