Overheard a kid at the plant nursery call my terrarium a 'boomer jar'. Got me thinking about how the hobby has changed since I started in 2010.

Wait, what even makes a terrarium "boomer" style?

Remember when terrariums were just glass bowls with a fern and some moss? I used to make those simple ones all the time. But seeing the crazy detailed builds people post now, with tiny waterfalls and perfect layers of substrate, totally changed my view. That kid's comment made me realize my old style does look pretty dated compared to today's mini-ecosystems. It's cool how the hobby has leveled up.
