Most often, a terrarium fogs up when temperatures in the house drop after a warm day. That will help prevent temperature differences inside and outside of your terrarium. Try to position your terrarium in a spot where bright indirect light is present for the most of the day. To stop the terrarium from misting/fogging, you can review your watering schedules, as well as terrarium positioning. You can place the terrarium near the window, but aim for indirect filtered light (or maximum few hours of direct light for open terrariums with succulents and carnivorous plants). Direct sunlight will increase temperatures in the terrarium and water evaporation. Same as with closed lid terrariums, don’t place them in direct sunlight. You can read a terrarium watering guide here. As your terrarium doesn’t have drainage holes, you must be careful with how much and how often you water your terrarium.

Most of those plants also don’t like constant or even any direct sun.Įven shape of the terrarium might make your terrarium fog more. That’s because they need proper ventilation and will die in a closed terrarium.īut even if you use mosses, ferns and other higher humidity loving plants in a closed terrarium, you should still be careful. You should only plant most of them in an open terrarium. Most plants that you use in a terrarium – succulents, air plants, and even tropical and carnivorous plants, love bright but indirect light. That will lead to fast water evaporation and will also cook your plants or severely burn them. If for example, direct sunlight hits the closed glass terrarium, the temperature inside the terrarium becomes too high. ![]() If you have a closed terrarium and it’s fogging, it will be mainly caused by too much water and differences of temperature inside and outside of the terrarium. ![]()
