Watering Your Terrarium

Photograph © Kerry Michaels

Using a spray bottle or watering can with a rose attachment on the spout, water your terrarium. You don’t want it to be soaking wet, just damp. You can also use the spray bottle to clean off any dirt that has clung to the glass sides of your container, which you can then wipe clean with newspaper or newsprint.

Never use glass cleaner on the inside of a planted terrarium, as it could make your plants sick.
