Terrarium and Goal 13
A terrarium has its own mini-climate. The
container has just a small opening or sometimes
even a lid to completely enclose the container.
That makes a terrarium like a greenhouse.
Sunlight enters through the glass and warms the
air, soil and plants the same way that sunlight
coming through the atmosphere warms Earth’s
surface. The glass holds in some of the warmth,
just as Earth’s atmosphere does.
Conclusion
In summary, terrariums offer a sustainable
approach to conservation by reducing pollution
and reusing materials. They also provide insights
into plant growth in enclosed environments, while
humidifying the surroundings and uplifting mood.
Embracing terrariums is a step towards
harmonious coexistence with nature.
