Dipteracanthus Elastica is a low-profile terrestrial plant that's fantastic for all-purpose coverage in terrariums and similar planted setups. It may be easier to remember this one by some of its common names like bubble plant or popcorn plant! It earns these nicknames thanks to its small, round, puckered leaves. The bubble plant also features a naturally dense growth structure, providing an instantly lush look in exchange for minimal effort. Like most terrarium plants, Diptercanthus Elastica will appreciate good humidity levels and low to moderate lighting. Avoid placing it under strong direct lights to prevent burning it!

If you're searching for an oddball plant for your terrarium, container garden or paludarium, try adding a Bubble Plant. Its rich green color, paired with its fun texture, is sure to add visual interest—and bonus! When the plant is happy, it may even bloom violet-blue flowers.
