A practical way to add nature to our home is through miniature gardens, known as terrariums. They are easy to make and also require little maintenance. They are especially ideal for small homes. City living often means confined spaces and limited access to the outdoors.
These little gardens will add some charm to your small apartment. You can use some herbs or succulents, adding bright colors and patterns. These ideas will help you create the perfect little garden.
1. Miniature garden or terrarium for the wall
There are terrariums that also stand out for their elegant decoration, for example vertical terrariums. Here we tell you the materials you need and how to make a vertical terrarium step by step.
Material
- important
- Air plants and mosses
- A small amount of earth and activated carbon
- painter’s tape
- Acrylic
- Magnetic metal boxes
- Spray paint
- Acrylic cutting tool, can be a dremel
Not sure:
If you want to paint the box, you will first cover the areas of the box you don’t want painted with tape, then spray paint the outside or inside. For painting, use enamel-type paint, waterproof, so that it adheres well to the metal, in the color you prefer. In this example we see below, only the inside of the box has been painted in a very elegant shade of matte white.

While the paint dries, you should cut the acrylic into a semicircle shape with the diameter of the box.
Then you have to attach the acrylic with glue and then put the cover on. You can make sure by hitting the lid with the box, so that the weight of the gravel does not uncover it. Then start placing the gravel, earth, moss and plants, so as to have a beautiful terrarium.
If you want to skip the acrylic cutting part and make a completely closed terrarium, you should get some activated charcoal to place inside the terrarium. You will find it in any pet store. Add plants that survive indoors.

Today we show you how to do it. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is and the happy outcome you’ll get with just a few items and a little of your time. To do this, you will need to collect enough lemon seeds for the space where you will place them, place them in water and remove the peel, then move them to the area where you will plant them.

Then you cover them with small stones that you can buy in DIY and decoration stores. Leave at least a week or so to pass and you will see the leaves of a lemon appear to give a touch of green to the office or a corner of the living room.
