Florariums (glass containers for growing plants) and paludariums (large florariums suitable for several groups of plants) are gaining more and more popularity among exotic lovers.
Plants in florariums look very impressive and are a real decoration of the interior. However, there are a few limitations that an experienced florist should keep in mind:
- There are only a small number of indoor plant species that can grow in a glass container. These are mainly succulents, anubias, some mosses and ferns.
- The glass walls of the florarium multiply the power of sunlight and can burn the leaves. That is why it is not recommended to place such compositions in direct sunlight.
- Florariums and paludariums are rather complex systems and require increased care
