Creative Terrarium Containers

Terrarium container suggestions. Here are a wide variety of containers you might want to use for making a terrarium. The thing about terrarium containers is that once you start thinking about them you will see ideas just about everywhere. And the supermarket is a great place to shop for unique shapes and sizes.

Wine glass TerrariumWine glasses can make a really beautiful albeit small terrarium. You can use glasses with or without stems and I recommend you look for glasses that are 16oz or larger. The larger size is easier to work with and a bit more dramatic. Pike Street 20-Ounce Stemless Red Wine Glasses, Set of 6

 

 

 

20 ounce wine glass

Esperienze Chardonnay Glasses Set of 4 A stemmed wine glass can really look great as a small terrarium especially if you plant it with plants that will grow and hang off the sides. But because they are delicate they are generally not a good idea for households with small children or pets unless kept high on a shelf.

 

 

Cognac glass

Riedel Vinum Cognac Glass, Set of 2 For me the Cognac Glass or Brandy Snifter is perfect for a small wine glass style terrarium. They tend to be shorter, squatter and a little bit more durable. You just have to watch the sizes. They can range from 8 ounces to 30. This one shown here is almost 30 ounces.

 

 

Mason Jars

Ball 68100 half gallon wide mouth mason jars.

Mason Jars make a nice rustic looking terrarium. The ones shown here hold a half gallon each which is a nice generous size. You might try to find a Mason Jar that has that old fashioned rubber seal with ceramic cap and metal wire lock. Those look great.

 

5 Gallon Glass Carboy

5 Gallon Glass Carboy If you are looking for a big and challenging terrarium container I recommend a 5 gallon glass carboy. This is what brewers use to make wine or beer in. It is very similiar to what you get when you order water for your home cooler. Can look really beautiful and can be quite challenging because you have to get the plants and seeds through the narrow mouth at the top.

 

 

Fish Bowls are also very suitable for a terrarium container

50 ounce - A little less than a half gallon (1 half gallon = 64 fluid ounces)

50 Oz. Glass Rose or Fish Bowl (89016AH)

 

 

 

Classic Fish Bowl Looking for something that looks good and is easy to use for a terrarium? This classic fish bowl is perfect and inexpensive. Available at Amazon.com

 

 

 

Wardian Cases - These are terrarium containers that are made of wrought iron and sheets of glass. Think of them as three dimensional stained glass objects. The glass is clear for the benefit of the plants of course! If you like this style of container I have a whole selection of them here Wardian Cases


 


Triple Arches Tabletop Terrarium

Designed after the English Conservatories, this small tabletop Terrarium/Wardian has the detailing that not only makes it look great, but also makes it fully functional. Size is 9" x 6" x 8" high
