Any indoor gardeners suggest plants for terrariums please?


Do you mean the enclosed glass things for growing plants in without
watering for months on end - what I know as a wardian case?

I've got carried
away with making the things and they're all lined up round the house and
empty. I've put carnivorous plants in the large cathedral shaped one,


Hmmm .... how are they going to feed?

I'd have thought you might get problems with rotting off.

but
there are a couple of globe shaped ones, diameter about 9" I need to find
plants for

The very delicate maidenhair type ferns that keel over if you take your
eye off them for half an hour and forget to water them. Go for very
delicate ones - ferns grow very happily in an enclosed moist area and
will soon outgrow if they are at all large.
