Originally called Wardian cases, terrariums were invented by accident in 1842 when an English botanist, Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward was trying to raise moth larvae in a sealed glass jar. When he noticed that the moss and ferns that he had in the glass for the moths were thriving, the first Terrarium was discovered. Ward used terrariums to transport native British pants to Australia, where they thrived in the sealed cases during transport. Terrariums on a smaller scale gained popularity in the Victorian Era and saw a resurgence in popularity in the 1970s.
