At home or at work, we always try to create an atmosphere of unique comfort in the space around us. Blooming phalaenopsis orchids, cute cacti or mini bonsai trees form a real oasis in the stone jungle of a modern city. However, today there are many alternatives to just potted plants placed on a windowsill or desktop. One of these fashion trends is compositions of living tropical plants in glass vases - florariums.

Florariums not only fill your home or office with natural beauty, but also help to prolong the life of your favorite indoor plants. Being in a glass shell, moisture-loving tropical plants and succulents will require minimal maintenance, and beautiful, bright, fresh, living compositions will last much longer than in ordinary indoor pots. At the same time, florariums really require only minimal care, the features of which depend on the plants used in the florarium.

The development of this direction in Russia is the studio of florariums MiniNature. According to the studio's designer Marat Khudyaev, today not only moisture-loving ferns are grown in florariums, but also many other types of exotic plants. So, in some compositions, unpretentious and bright summer succulents are used. In others, delicate orchids or true mini bonsai trees go well with ferns and fittonia. Compositions with exotic atmospheric tillandsias stand apart. These rare rootless plants feed on the moisture in the air and thrive when attached to a driftwood or piece of pine bark and sprayed periodically.

The skill of the designer allows you to create real masterpieces in a small space of a vase. It can be the outlines of mountain valleys, beautiful landscapes with cascading waterfalls, or an oasis in a lifeless desert. With the help of the florarium, you can even tell a whole mini-story.

Florarium fills the house not only with natural beauty, but also with a sense of care and responsibility.

Among the advantages of the florarium, there is one psychological aspect. The owners become attached to long-lived plants in the apartment as well as to pets. Therefore, the florarium fills the house not only with natural beauty, but also with a sense of care and responsibility, which, moreover, can be instilled in children by entrusting them with caring for the florarium.

“We noticed that today florariums are used not only for interior decoration,” comments Marat Khudyaev. “Such a composition of unpretentious plants is a very unusual and truly original living gift, and very fashionable geometric florariums in handmade vases are increasingly becoming a wonderful addition to the festive (for example, wedding) decor, harmoniously fitting into its concept."
