Coffee Cup Terrarium

This terrarium is simply a large coffee cup planted with variegated ficus pumila, corn plant and maranta. The cup, simply placed on black gravel packaged for aquariums, in an open glass tube vase, from a discount store, makes an economical and attractive terrarium.

Because the cup has no drainage, it is a little tricky to keep the plants watered properly. Because of this, I chose very forgiving plants.
