Just got these “glass lanterns” and wondered what yall think about turning these into terrariums? I’d appreciate any insight on this project. Ideally I’d have something that prefers shade and hangs out the tops maybe hmm.
Did you seal the glass or check they can hold water without leaks?
If you are going to have open ones and consider plants growing out of it, tradescantias would be lovely. They tend to grow very fast and happily and are usually okay with not great lighting. There are many varieties purple silver ones called zebrinas, magenta ones which is what I have called pink paradise, there are also green varieties. So I would check them out. Also Google reddit posts Terrarium tradescantia cause I have seen a few gorgeous ones here before.
