terrarium
Enclosed plant habitat
A terrarium is a sealed or partially enclosed glass container for growing plants or keeping small land animals.
The enclosure creates a miniature ecosystem, trapping moisture that cycles through condensation: She built a terrarium with moss and succulents.
For animals like lizards or frogs, terrariums simulate natural habitats with controlled temperature and humidity.
