Plant-filled vivariums can take just about any shape that the manufacturer wishes to produce, yet these Chive Inc. Terrariums have been formally inspired by an unexpected iconic object. The familiar spherical fish bowl with the circular opening has been adapted for species that tolerate a dehydrated environment.
As usual, sand, gravel or larger stones might be placed at the bottom of the vessel before mosses and succulent plants are nestled inside of it. The clear glass containers can become display cases for exquisite varieties of carpets and cacti that might begin to emerge from the hole in the top of the globe.
