The first step in creating a circular terrarium is to decide on the size of your glass vase. Once this has been decided, you will then need to consider the types of plants that will best suit your terrarium. For a small terrarium, the plants should be airy and will provide some shade for the fish. For a larger terrarium, you can place more plants and these will become the focus of the terrarium. In either case, you should try to place the plants as near to the edge of the terrarium as possible, in order to maximize the amount of sunlight they receive.

A favorite choice of terrarium plants for circular terrariums are glass hanging planters. These are perfect for a small terrarium and provide the much needed shade from the direct rays of the sun. There are many different species of plants that can be used in glass terrariums including the popular aquarium plant Acropora.

Other plants that work well in the glass vase environment include Water Lily and Ivy and Bird of Paradise. The majority of plants that work well in terrariums are low maintenance, easy to keep clean and require limited amount of watering. These are especially good for those who do not have a large amount of space to dedicate to their outdoor gardens. In the end, you will have a terrarium full of air plants, floating plants, sponges and gravel that can create a lovely habitat for your fish.

When choosing the types of plants to place in your terrarium, keep in mind that your terrarium will require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Some terrarium plants will flower and bloom during the night time. If this is the case, you should place the flowering plants higher up on the glass vase so that they receive equal amounts of sunlight during the day and at night. If you have chosen to hang baskets or planters instead of the glass vase, be sure to purchase air plants, water lilies and a variety of air plants in a variety of sizes so that your terrarium has the ultimate in natural lighting.

Another consideration when choosing plants for your circle of terrarium is what season they grow best. Obviously, air plants work best in the winter months. This is because they require the most sunlight during the cold months of the year. Deciduous trees and shrubs also work well, as they will remain green all year long.

Plants in your terrarium will be best placed in groups. This way, you can make the most of natural movement. Horizontal planter boxes work best in most cases and hanging planters can sometimes provide a sense of natural flow. You will want to group your plants by size as well.

One other thing to keep in mind is that plants in your terrarium will not all grow at the same rate. Water lilies, for example, will grow much more slowly than, say, Java Fern. This is why it is important to group similar looking plants together. For example, plants with a similar color should be placed next to each other in a round or oval shape. Java Fern will look best grouped together with tall-growing plants such as Hostas or Java Fern.

By taking the time to think about how plants work with your circular terrarium, you will find that your new pet is an easy addition. They work great with any decor and are easy to care for. They make a beautiful focal point in any home. Your circular terrarium will provide the perfect backdrop for many years to come.
