The Terrarium Plant Mix is a great pick if you want multiple small plants in one order. It comes with six small plants that are ready to build into a glass terrarium, bottle garden or mini display. The plants are supplied in small nursery pots, typically around 5–6cm, making them suitable for planting in a range of terrariums and miniature indoor displays.
The mix of terrarium plants is not pre-fixed. Rather, it is put together when you order, using whatever is looking its best that season. That means no two sets are quite the same, and you'll usually get a variety of leaf shapes and colours that can range from plain green to pink, red, silver or purple. Every plant is chosen because it stays small and enjoys the moist, sheltered air inside glass.
If you are building a terrarium from scratch, start with a layer of gravel to collect excess water, followed by a thin layer of horticultural charcoal and suitable compost. As most terrarium containers have no drainage holes, take care not to overwater. Want more small plants? Browse our mini indoor plants.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
