====Difference from dish garden==== An open terrarium should not be confused with a [[dish garden]]. A terrarium, even open, allows for increased humidity compared to the environment outside the structure, whereas a dish garden does not provide additional humidity. Due to the transparent walls of terraria causing magnification of the sun's rays, terraria cannot be placed in direct sunlight because the intense light will cause foliage to burn. A dish garden can tolerate direct sun, as long as it is planted with full sun-tolerant plants.<ref name=":0" /> Succulents and cacti are better suited for a dish garden than a terrarium because dish gardens allow succulents and cacti to be placed in the full sun they require without burning.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Schnelle |first1=Mike |last2=Hillock |first2=David |last3=Payne |first3=Laura |date=2017-03-01 |title=Terrariums |url=https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/print-publications/hla/terrariums-hla-6438.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/print-publications/hla/terrariums-hla-6438.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |access-date=2022-09-19 |website=Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service}}</ref>
