Pots, Boxes and Terrariums

There are, of course, infinite variations and combina­tions that you can employ in setting up your indoor gar­den, but basically there are three main approaches to the arrangement of house plants:

Individual pots which can be set up and moved about at will.

A tray or box arrangement (almost always in a window)  in which a number of different plants are
grown together.

Terrariums (also known as Wardian cases) of which only the smallest or bottle variety are truly mobile.
