# Five Reasons Terrariums are a Spring Must-Have

I absolutely love terrariums and I think spring is the best time to welcome them into the home. Here are five reasons to get some terrariums ASAP:

**They’re Gorgeous **

Not only are terrariums gorgeous, but they can come in any shape, size, design or theme. If you type *terrariums *into Pinterest you’ll see just how beautiful and varied they can be.

**They’re Easy to Care For**

Terrariums recycle their moisture so they require very little attention. They only need to be watered when they dry up a little bit, which is typically just once every few weeks. When you water them, use something like a turkey baster so as not to overwater.** **

**You Can Dress Them Up **

Terrariums make good homes for cute figurines like the ones above. And don’t worry – a little animal or house won’t hurt the plant (just make sure it’s not too heavy).

**They Make Great Centerpieces**

The centerpieces above speak for themselves I think! Perhaps the best thing about terrariums is how varied they can be. Just look at all the different vases, bowls and jars they can come in.

**They’re Easy to Make**
