What’s a terrarium?

A terrarium is actually a form of a vivarium. A vivarium is an area that has been enclosed where animals and plants are raised for observation. Terrariums usually starts as a dry inhabitant but then with watering it creates its own water cycle! Terrariums are watered by being misted.
