The greenhouse-like effect of the Globe Garden is an ideal growing environment for seeds to germinate and then flourish into beautiful plants.

Terrariums:
Terrariums are miniature enclosed gardens. Any type of house plant can be grown in a terrarium arrangement: indeed, the humid microclimate inside the container is the ideal solution to dry, centrally-heated rooms which can be harmful to plant health. The one exception to this is the family of cacti and succulents, prone to rot in humid environments. These are better kept in open dishes.

Terrariums require a minimum of care if they are kept sealed. The moisture that plants absorb from the soil is given off through the leaves by the process of transpiration. This condenses on the walls and runs down to moisten the soil again. The atmosphere also remains balanced through the combined plant processes of photosynthesis and respiration. A well-constructed terrarium requires only light and warmth to flourish.

Planting:
Some people prefer to line the bottom first with sphagnum or freshly-picked moss, up to the soil level. A drainage layer is essential to ensure the roots are not sitting in excess moisture. Spread a handful of crushed charcoal in the bottom to keep the soil fresh, and cover with 2cm pebbles or gravel. Cover this with 2 to 5cm of good, porous potting soil. Mosses sand will satisfy most plants. The soil mix should be slightly damp, but never wet, at the time of planting. It must be sterile.
