Hello Fiona, yes, I believe so. I haven’t seen your particular container but anything glass can work, as long as you have the right plants and you don’t place your terrarium under direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

Hi Cecilia,

Your blog about terrarium plants really gave me inspiration. I wanted to do a DIY terrarium but I am worried that I would not do it right. Thank you for sharing

Hello!
I have never used POWDERED activated charcoal. I believe the powdered activated charcoal has a different use, like skin care and it is also used as a digestive remedy. The activated charcoal used for terrariums is quite messy, as it leaves a black dust in your hands, so I can only assume that the powdered version is even messier and it might compromise the layering look of your terrarium, (if that is something you are even considering).

It’s so cool you are planning a terrarium for the kids! You can do so many fun things with cars and dinosaurs!
It’s a little hard to find non-toxic plants that are also ideal for closed terrariums…
Avoid succulents, even the non-toxic ones don’t do well in highly humid environments.
I can only think of 4 plants that can handle the humidity of closed terrariums and are non-toxic to humans at the same time:

– Mini Orchids
– Aluminum Plants
– Chinese Money Plant
– Wandering Jew

However, it is always recommend that neither kids, nor adults, or pets, ingest any parts, of any plants!

You don’t need a light for the terrarium. Make sure it is exposed to bright indirect light, but absolutely, NO DIRECT sunlight, as the glass walls of the terrarium act as magnifying glass, and they would burn the plants inside it!

I really hope this helps, and I am truly looking forward to see what you come up with!!

Cheers!

I need to make sure all the plants are non toxic. Are their certain non toxic plants that will thrive better in a terrarium? Also, do I need a light for a closed terrarium? Please help, I’m new to this.

Hi Doris!
Thank you for asking! I bought my glass jar at Home Sense and it’s 16 1/2″ (42.5 cm) tall.
I hope this answers your question.

Cheers,

Cecilia
