terrariums
Enclosed plant habitats
Terrariums are glass containers housing small plants or animals in a controlled environment.
A terrarium for plants creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where moisture recycles through condensation.
For reptiles or amphibians, a terrarium replicates natural habitat with appropriate heat, humidity, and substrate: She keeps her gecko in a terrarium with a heat lamp.
The singular is terrarium.
