Photo of my biggest terrarium for attention. Things are less colourful currently; this is from about a year ago. I always enjoy my terrarium the most in February with the green contrasting with the Canadian winter. It’s especially white and snowy this week.

    Niiice. I love ferns but they are tough to grow indoors in my climate because of the dry air. How much energy does this beast consume? Is it heated or only lit?

      No heating at all for the terrarium, a few watts for two fans (silent low power fans like those inside computers) a few watts for the light. Probably a very low total electricity consumption and in my case with the room needing heating 50-60 % of the year, from cheap hydroelectric electricity, very little is lost. The room temperature is 21 to 25 depending on the Sunlight and plants have stable condition and high humidity.
