<h2>Why Choose a Terrarium?</h2><p>A terrarium is a small, enclosed garden that can bring a touch of nature into any space. It's like having a miniature ecosystem right on your desk or shelf. Unlike a pet rock, a terrarium requires minimal care but offers much more in terms of beauty and interest.</p><p>Terrariums are easy to maintain. They don't need frequent watering or pruning. Just a little sunlight and occasional misting keep them thriving. This makes them perfect for people with busy lives or those who aren't confident in their gardening skills.</p><figure id="figure-f8h24wdrqhly6nf7f4"><img id="f8h24wdrqhly6nf7f4" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1623225178244-e5d61f4b8010?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8dGVycmFyaXVtJTIwcGxhbnRzfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMDA2MDA5MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="terrarium plants" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1623225178244-e5d61f4b8010?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8dGVycmFyaXVtJTIwcGxhbnRzfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMDA2MDA5MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Benefits of several benefits.

<h2>Understanding Your Climate</h2><p>Choosing the right plants for your garden starts with understanding your climate. Different plants thrive in different conditions. Some need a lot of sunlight, while others prefer shade. The first step is to identify the climate zone of your region.</p><p>In Malaysia, the climate is tropical. This means high humidity and consistent temperatures throughout the year. Knowing this helps you pick plants that will thrive in these conditions.</p><figure id="figure-i4m1ga01wblxyvb1su"><img id="i4m1ga01wblxyvb1su" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1493551511613-abc8320c265e?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8dHJvcGljYWwlMjBwbGFudHN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTg5Njk3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="tropical plants" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1493551511613-abc8320c265e?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8dHJvcGljYWwlMjBwbGFudHN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTg5Njk3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><ul><li>Hibiscus</li><li>Orchids</li><li>Bougainvillea</li></ul><h2>Considering Soil and Water Needs</h2><p>Soil type and water requirements are also important. Tropical plants often need well-draining soil and regular watering. Check the soil in your garden. If it doesn't drain well, you may need to amend it with sand or organic matter.</p><figure id="figure-oyqgek8xdglxyvb3jl"><img id="oyqgek8xdglxyvb3jl" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1615671524701-9c3dde8fdaa0?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxzb2lsJTIwdGVzdGluZ3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTk1ODk2OTl8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="soil testing" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1615671524701-9c3dde8fdaa0?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxzb2lsJTIwdGVzdGluZ3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTk1ODk2OTl8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>Choosing the Right Spot</p><p>Placement is key to plant health. Observe your garden throughout the day to see where the sun hits. Some plants need full sun, while others do better in partial shade. Choose spots that match the light requirements of your plants.</p><p>Also, consider the wind. Some plants can be damaged by strong winds. Plant these in sheltered areas or use windbreaks to protect them.</p><h2>Testing and Adjusting</h2><p>Gardening is often a process of trial and error. Start with a few plants and see how they do. If they thrive, you can add more. If they struggle, try to adjust their conditions or choose different plants.</p><figure id="figure-f67yi85nxrlxyvb5yg"><img id="f67yi85nxrlxyvb5yg" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1611735341450-74d61e660ad2?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw0fHxnYXJkZW5lciUyMHRlc3Rpbmd8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTg5NzAyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="gardener testing" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1611735341450-74d61e660ad2?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw0fHxnYXJkZW5lciUyMHRlc3Rpbmd8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTg5NzAyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>Choosing the right plants for your climate is essential for a successful garden.
