Got this to add to my book self, it fits perfectly and looks great with fake plants.It is a little thin so be careful when moving it or adding anything to it.Definitely worth the price

This is such a cute little terrarium! It is shaped like a tiny greenhouse!I havent decided yet whether i want to use it for a jumping spider or as a terrarium for venus flytraps and sundews- which need high humidity to thrive and thus benefit from a terrarium like this. I don’t think i can do both at once because i worry that the venus flytrap would eat the spider… but if i pick non-carnivorous plants this is big enough to house both some small plants and still give a jumping spider plenty of space!And i just think the tiny greenhouse look is so cute compared to purely utilitarian acrylic jumping spider enclosures.This terrarium has a side door opening, so it won’t disturb jumping spiders’ hammocks which they usually make at the top of an enclosure. And it has good ventilation through the metal mesh at the top.The price ($39) is pretty standard for these glass terrariums- i havent seen anything cheaper of the same size.

This glass terrarium is beautiful and has a lovely Victorian-inspired design, similar to a classic Wardian Case. It's much more decorative than just using a jar and adds charm to any space. The sturdy glass and metal trim, along with the detailed arches and roof vents, give it a high-quality look and feel.It’s especially nice for succulents or cacti due to the ventilation, though you could adapt it for tropical plants with a bit of plastic wrap over the vents. The small opening makes planting a bit tricky—I had to use tweezers—and I planned to seal the bottom with aquarium-safe silicone to make it watertight. It would also look great with air plants, silk greenery, or even as a display for mini collectibles.However, I was really disappointed that it broke while I was opening the door. That part was already a bit inconvenient, and the break just added to the frustration. I still love the look and design, but the door setup and fragility are worth noting if you’re considering this piece.

The Victorian predecessor of the modern terrarium was called the Wardian Case -- it looked a lot like this, but the size of a breadbox or bigger. The modern versions are a nice decorative alternate to just a jar.Ignore the text -- it talks about jumping spiders spinning webs. Um, the whole point is that they don't -- they're hunting spiders. (and lots of fun to watch stalking bugs like tiny cats) It's a glass case, as described, with vents at the roof ends.The opening is a bit small -- I'm going to have to plant mine (after using a bit of silicone seal -- available at aquarium stores -- to make it leakproof) with tweezers. But that's no worse than planting a bottle-type terrarium, and IMO this is a lot nicer looking.It's sturdy glass, with metal trim. The surface details like the arches and vertical lines are thin metal, like heavy wire, soldered into position. The upper ends are perforated, much like roof vents in real houses, actually -- you know, where the squirrels get in! -- which should make this suitable for some of the less humidity-loving plants. The down side is you'll have to water it once in a while. But it would be perfect for cacti and the slower-growing succulents. That's what's going to be going in mine. Or, of course, with a bit of plastic wrap over the vents, you could go with the usual tropical terrarium plants. "Air plants" -- small epiphytes like Tillandsia species -- could look nice in here, too. Another alternative would be non-living material: silk plants, miniature items, small collectibles, etc.The only down sides are the lack of little feet underneath (things like this usually have something like the knobs on the roof as feet) and that inconvenient door. That's partly my fault -- I knew when I ordered it, but thought it would be less of an issue than it is.Still, it's very pretty, I like that it has the roof vents, and it's narrow enough to fit on the shelf extending my kitchen windowsill, which is a major virtue.Recommended.
