A terrarium is a magical desert ecosystem features a variety of high quality cacti and succulents, soil, gravel, and rocks. The plants require very low maintenance as they are used to living in the drought of the desert. The fishbowl terrarium is an enclosed desert garden that makes plants and layers of soil and sand visible from all sides. It is ideal as a centerpiece in a dining room, coffee table, side table, in a meeting room or on top of a kitchen counter. Terrariums last much longer than cut flowers and have a modern touch to that is great for a contemporary style home or office.
