I use a carefully measured layering system—leca for drainage, activated charcoal for filtration, and specific substrates—to make sure these little ecosystems can actually survive without constant fuss. If you have an old jar or cake container gathering dust, send it my way; I love turning neglected glass into a thriving mini-jungle. Beyond the initial look, each terrarium acts like a self-contained forest floor. I select tropical plants like Fittonias and Syngoniums specifically because they thrive in the humidity trapped inside these glass walls. This creates a cycle where the plants recycle their own moisture, meaning you do not have to water them constantly. In fact, overwatering is the most common mistake I see. People often tell me *thoda sa pani dala tha*—a little bit of water—but usually, that is exactly why the plants suffer. My advice is always to observe the condensation on the glass before reaching for the mister. If the glass is clear with very light fog in the morning, it is happy. If it is dripping, it has had too much love. You will also see I have a soft spot for recycling. If you have an empty jar, a unique bottle from a special occasion, or even a glass cake stand, don't throw it away. I can turn those into your very own living landscape. It is my way of keeping sustainability at the core of my work while giving you something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you are looking for a gift that lasts or a piece of living decor for your office desk, my goal is to make sure you have the knowledge to keep it alive. I include a care guide with every piece, but if you run into trouble, just send me a message. These are small worlds, but they carry big rewards. ## About ByTheLeaf I’m Deepika, the founder of ByTheLeaf.
