Love the idea of gardening but less keen at maintaining it? For those with limited skill and time to tend a garden, we recommend that you start simple with a terrarium that you can do yourself if you want some greenery in your home. Terrariums not only help in absorbing certain toxic pollution, it’s beautiful to look at.
Some of the things you’ll need for the mini DIY project include a clear glass or plastic container, small stones, potting soil, activated charcoal, plants, moss, and cool ornaments which could be found at garden stores. These are the 15 low-maintenance DIY terrarium for home as your inspiration:
