My Orchid Terrarium Inspiration

Many resources are available online if you want to learn more about orchids. You can find information about different types of orchids, what makes them unique, and how to grow and care for them.

But there is not as much information focusing on incorporating orchids into your home or office decor other than displaying them in decorative pots.

I stumbled upon some unusual terrarium ideas in a book by Tovah Martin entitled “The New Terrarium“, which I picked up on Amazon.

After only reading the first few pages of her book, I found several really simple, quick, and usable terrarium ideas.

Reading this book provided a real “ah-ha” moment for me. I realized I needed to stop thinking of the terrariums of the seventies and eighties. You know, the plants in a fishbowl sort of thing.

When I saw the kind of “outside of the box” terrarium ideas she was using, I could see why terrariums are enjoying a resurgence. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at them.

Some ideas I culled from the book we’ve used in the shop, like the orchid terrarium shown here. It can easily be created in a cylinder vase, along with some decorative pebbles and moss, in just a few minutes.

Where To Find The Terrarium Supplies You Need

Finding everything you need is pretty simple. Local florists, garden centers, and hobby shops carry a variety of terrarium supplies.
