Here's the terrarium I bought for my sister today. I dig it:

Wow that looks cool! I remember terrariums were soooo popular when I was a kid (70s-80s) and I'm happy to see the return of this trend.

Amazing! Also, hi it's me, your sister

Hehe jokes aside, how much did that cost? Is it easy to maintain? I might look into getting one for my desk.

You may not enjoy the answer of how much this one cost... although you can buy kits to make your own quite cheaply and there were cheaper but not as nice options at the terrarium shop. This one was $190.

As for maintaining, apparently you water them once a month. There was a card with a QR code on it to go get maintenance info but I didn't check it, just gave it to my sister.

Looking at the quality of the components, the plants, the jar, the base and top, and how well it's been made I think it's good value. Plus it's really nice. 😍
