Chapman suggests checking on the terrarium weekly for watering. Use the turkey baster to water each plant container. The soil should remain slightly moist. The plastic tray will hold extra water, but avoid overwatering. Stop watering for a while if the terrarium appears foggy and soggy.
The orchids’ blooms will eventually fade, and the Venus’ flytrap might need more maintenance than the other plants, but you can easily swap out plants as needed to create a terrarium that can last years. Once you’ve decided you no longer want a terrarium, you can transplant all the plants, still in their plastic containers.
Tip: To remove plants from the terrarium without damaging them, pull them through the opening of the vessel upside down, with the pot coming out first.
