Cloche Terrariums - or Bell Jar Terrariums

Cloche or bell jar terrariums are an interesting variation on the traditional terrarium. They are named after a victorian style hat called a cloche. Typically they are a dish or base with a bell shaped glass that goes over it. You can put your plants inside then place the glass Cloche right over it. It is a neat variation on the typical terrarium. In a way it is an upside down terrarium.

My recommendation!

Cloches tend to be expensive! And if you are new to terrarium making you might want to start out with an apothecary jar. Although, if you have trouble with a cloche you can always just clean it out and start over! But if you are just trying this terrarium making thing out to see if you like it you can start less expensive with a nice apothecary jar! That tutorial is here.

If you want to get a look at a cloche terrarium I have some pictures of one here. Pauls Cloche Terrarium

Here is a selection of really nice Cloches and Dome bell jar glasses available on Amazon.com

Victorian Bell Cloche - Gardening Under Glass

Garden Under Glass. The French developed the glass cloche, or bell jar, formed of a solid piece of glass shaped like a dome. The purpose was to protect an early garden plant from bleak cold and frost. This would hasten their crops to maturity. The Dutch and English expanded the idea with handlights, lantern style, faceted pyramidal covers made from glass panes and frames of cast iron. Today French cloches', Dutch and English handlights styles are much on the garden scene. As well as functional, they make a wonderful garden accent. Accent your garden table, or use as a food cover for your next gathering. The Glass Cloche is a one piece glass top with handle, copper finished bottom tray. 7 inches in diameter x 9 inches high.
