I have received or purchased ALOT of orchids over

I have received or purchased ALOT of orchids over the past few years. I have a couple tables in my living room I like to keep them on and once the blooms fall, the plants usually head out to my greenhouse for a little R&R. I usually just trim any dead stems and leaves and forget about them other than a quick water here and there when I water my other plants. THIS is the time of year I really love though. With about 15 or so plants in various sizes and colors, they start showing off around April and I now have a never ending supply of orchids to bring into my home. #orchid #orchidsofinstagram #houseplants #houseplantcommunity

My first Eden climbing rose of the season bloomed

My first Eden climbing rose of the season bloomed and I almost missed it. So many distractions and uncertainties, but when you stop to focus on what IS beautiful in the world around you, God will show you something you need to see. And right there next to my first pretty rose was another lovely creature admiring it as well... can you see the dragonfly? Missing all my plant loving friends at the shop. #stopandsmelltheroses #dragonfly #plantlovers #rose

Did you know playing in the dirt can actually boos

Did you know playing in the dirt can actually boost your immune system AND your mood? I for one can tell you it's absolutely true.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over 3 years ago and had to have a double mastectomy. After 11 hours of surgery and 5 days in the hospital, I was sent home to what was supposed to be about 8-12 weeks of recovery. My goal was to get back out to my flower beds and greenhouse as quickly as possible, which I did within about 2 weeks. Plants and working in the dirt were part of my therapy, and helped speed my recovery up so much so that my doctors said I had recovered in half the time of most of their patients with the same surgery. That's also part of my inspiration for opening Terrarium.

So if the "stay home" order has you and your family feeling down, get out in the yard and clean up those flower beds, plant some herbs or flowers (you can even order those online without leaving the house), or repot that indoor plant into a bigger container. It might just be the therapy you need to beat the boredom blues!

Here's some scientific proof to back it up ;) https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/blogs/how-playing-in-dirt-boosts-your-health #planttherapy #plantlovers #getyourhandsdirty #mood

STAY HOME. As a small business owner, these are to

STAY HOME. As a small business owner, these are tough words to let sink in. Staying home means wondering if your little business is going to survive the current economic situation and be there when things slowly get back to some sort of “normal.” But staying home also means taking care of what matters most right now, FAMILY. Tell your kiddos that our birdies - Oliver and Clementine - are moving to my house for a while where they have a nice spot by the window in my kitchen. And I will be going in regularly to water and rotate the plants in the shop so they are hopefully still happy and healthy when we all get back to our routines. Our prayers are with your families, our fellow Tomball businesses and our whole community, so please stay safe, stay healthy, and stay home. #stayhome #tomballtx #shopsmall

All this down time has me doing some Spring cleaning around the shop. How about you? Need to replace a rug or doing some redecorating? I have put our final remaining Rifle Paper Co rugs on clearance CHEAP! These are larger rugs - 3'9' x 5'9" and 5'3" x 7'6" perfect in bedrooms, under coffee tables, etc. They have not been out on the floor and some are still in plastic. These rugs are still full price on the RPC site so you will not find it cheaper anywhere else. Visit our RUG CLEARANCE page in our online store where you can snag one today and pick it up tomorrow! There's only 1 rug per design available so don't wait. https://terrariumliving.com/product-category/rugclearance/ #rugsale #tomballtx #shopsmall

Well it’s official. Terrarium is stepping into the world of online shopping! It’s been in the works for a while, but it seems there’s never been a better time than right now to make adding a little green love to your life a little bit easier. We’ve started loading some of our shippable items onto the site first, but will be adding items just for pre-paid pickup to the site as well. Full shipping details in our website FAQs.

Thanks so much for your positive response to the news earlier this week. Now help us get the word out! For every person you TAG in the comments, you’ll get an entry into a giveaway for one of TWO (2) gift cards for $20 each - one on Facebook and one on Instagram. And don’t forget, they don’t even have to live here! So tag as many people as you like. Winners will be randomly drawn at Noon on Monday 3/23.

Good afternoon friends! Well this week is not goin

Good afternoon friends! Well this week is not going at all like we had hoped. We were planning to celebrate Terrarium’s first anniversary this week starting today - St. Patrick’s Day the greenest day of the year - and going through Saturday with some fun giveaways etc., BUT in light of everything going on in our community right now, I think we are all making quite a few adjustments.
Being a “non-essential” business in a time when most people are going out only when they have to, we have already seen and expect to continue to see a serious decline in visitors and sales. Add in the increasing restrictions being placed on a variety of local businesses, our concerns for our staff, and our own children that are now at home indefinitely, and it’s a lot of juggling and uncertainty for a small business.

We adore our customers, and enjoy our time at the shop chatting with you and helping you explore our little planty world, but have decided to reduce our hours temporarily to the following:
SUN-WED : Closed
THURS-SAT : 11am - 3pm
These hours may continue to evolve as needed.
One of the things we were actually planning to announce with our anniversary is the launch of our new ONLINE SHOP where we will be offering some of our most popular items for shipping around the U.S. or in-store pickup for local customers. We are working quickly to get items loaded online. We will post about it later and would REALLY APPRECIATE it if you would share the info with your friends and family on social media, as online sales may be the only business we are able to get for a while. Watch for a post later today for more info.

Please know that through this we are praying for your good health, thoughtful planning, and some sense of peace for you and your family, and resilience for our local businesses that are feeling added stress and uncertainty. Thank you for your continued support. #tomballtx #smallbusiness #plantshop

Good morning friends! As our community deals with

Good morning friends! As our community deals with the many changes dictated by this pest of a virus, we just wanted to let you know that Terrarium will be open today and next week at reduced hours based on staff availability and business flow. We will try to post those hours here and on FB, but you can always send us a text message before you head our way just to be sure we are open : 713-425-6464. Caring for plants is a great way to de-stress and focus on something positive, so we encourage you to spend some extra time at home with your little green friends when this ordeal has you feeling a little frazzled. And if you need a break and want to get out, our door is open for you to just drop in and browse around our little shop, and many of the other shops in downtown Tomball welcome you too. #shopsmall #plantshop #tomballtx #community
