Terrarium Garden Idle App Guide, Strategy and Tips (Fun Green Apps)

The Terrarium - Garden Idle App for iPhone and android, created by Green Panda is a fun, simple and relaxing idle game where the aim is to plant seeds and grow your plants to create a window garden or terrarium.

I’ve had so much fun playing this, so I decided to write a complete guide on planting, unlocking and growing your plants in the game. It won’t help you live greener, but if you have an interest in plants, it is a great stress buster.

Terrarium: Garden Idle

It’s the type of game that really doesn’t take up much time (which I like), its completely free, and you just check in on it periodically and plant new plants or upgrade them whenever you feel like it.

Each plant makes oxygen bubbles and are planted on what looks like window ledges. From what I can tell so far, there is no limit to the number of shelves and plants you can have.

There is no requirement to add friends or compete, just grow at your own speed.

There are so many unusual and beautiful plants in this game and its strangely satisfying to watch them grow and move them around to design your own windowsill garden. If you’re an impatient gardener, like me, you might want to know how each plant looks, but I’ll get to that in a minute.

It is family friendly and although some of the ads are a bit strange, I haven’t seen anything yet that I wouldn’t want my kids to see and it has no in app purchases. So many games have inappropriate ads, even little kids games will show clips of horror movies and M rated war games which I absolutely detest. So yes, there are ads in the game, but mostly optional and they allow you to earn 3x your bonuses and replenish boosters. It isn’t necessary to do this, which I also like a lot. There is nothing worse than finding a fun game only to discover you have to collect rare items in order to play.

Idle games usually require tapping to earn points, or in this case oxygen, and will also earn a certain amount while you are away from the game. Some idle games really mess with my head and are far from relaxing, but this one. Personally, I can’t be bothered with constantly tapping my screen so I prefer to use the boosters, level up and then use my oxygen for new plants or upgrades when I have a few minutes downtime.

It's a very easy to game to play and no need to read through complicated instructions. From the start, you will be guided on the basics and just follow the prompts.

This is how it appears when you first start the game:

Complete List of Terrarium Plants To Unlock (and How much they Yield)

A new Plant is unlocked every 5 levels you progress up until you hit level 150, and I expect in time they may add some more options. There are some pretty cool options, and it is feeding my desire to have more interesting real life indoor plants. There is a small wait between planting the seed and starting to see the plant grow, this can be accelerated by watching an advert, but I haven't bothered as they really don't take long.

Don’t unlock plants too quickly

As you upgrade, your plant will change appearance and give you a greater yield of oxygen. It is tempting to work at simply unlocking all of the plants, but you really need to upgrade some existing plants as you go to increase your oxygen.

For example, the first plant is free and will start out by yielding just $1, but the plant you unlock at level 150 costs a whopping 14,5 million and will only yield around 38 oxygen. Your first plant is so much cheaper to upgrade and start earning.

Combine upgrading and unlocking as you can afford it. You don’t want to spend all your oxygen on costly plants only to yield tiny amounts. You may also want to be selective, there is no reason you have to have every plant, so get creative with what you love and skip the plants that don’t appeal. My favourite is the lotus and I plan to have several of these down the track.

You Cannot Remove Plants

You can move plants around and rearrange them, but you cannot delete them from your garden. I wish this was an option. This is a great reason not to plant a heap of Snake Plants and then have no space for new additions until the level up.

Unlocking Floors or Shelves in your Terrarium

You begin with 2 rows for planting and you can fit 4 plants on each row. When you level up to 20, you can unlock a new shelf (or floors as they are called in the app) in your garden. This happens every 20 levels and when available, will show you the cost. This continues beyond level 150, which is good to know as initially I just stuck to planting one of each plant in case I ran out of space.

Terrarium: Garden Idle

3rd Floor (Level 20) – cost unknown

4th Floor (Level 40) costs 202.5k oxygen

5th Floor (Level 60) costs 640k oxygen

6th Floor (level 80) costs 1.56m oxygen

7th Floor (level 100) costs 3024m oxygen

8th Floor (Level 120) costs 6m oxygen

9th Floor (level 140) costs 10.24m oxygen

10th Floor (Level 160) costs 16.4 m oxygen

Boosters - Intensive Rain, Fertiliser and Repellent

Click the rainbow to access and view your boosters. Intense Watering is my favourite as it quickly boots the oxygen and is fun to watch.

You can use both the intensive watering AND the fertiliser booster at the same time and earn great amounts without having to repeatedly tap.

Terrarium: Garden Idle

Do NOT level up during the booster time as you will miss out on some of your earnings.

If your watering runs out but you still have time on the fertiliser, then tap the 2 highest earning plants at the same time to maximise your earnings. I have really only managed to tap 2 plants at the same time. Most idle games will allow you to tap more items at once.

Level 2 of the Fertiliser Booster triples your yield for 11 seconds (if you don’t use the intensive watering, you might want to tap your biggest plants during this time). Each level up gives you an extra second of x3 production.

The Repellent gives you a certain amount of oxygen instantly, which of course increases when you level up this booster. This is handy if you’re getting close to levelling and up and don’t want to do a lot of tapping.

    I think Terrarium is the best game ever. It has great quality and hardly any ads. However, there is one problem: sometimes when an ad pops up, only a quarter of it is shown and the close button is missing. I'm not sure if it's just my device or if there's a bug in the game. Despite that, I still recommend playing this game.

    Enjoy the game, not a big fan of the recent crystal update. Still playing and might purchase some crystals anyway. Understand the need for the makers to profit. Best plant game I've come across. Would love if they included extra plant info when holding down on a plant. Overall, a perfect game.

    I've been feeling annoyed by small things recently, so I decided to get a soothing app. I came across Terrarium and it really made me feel more relaxed. If I could make a suggestion, I'd love an option to hide the bubbles and numbers on the plants. It looks better without them. Apart from that, Terrarium is fantastic! Big thanks to the developers!

    The game is okay, but there are too many ads. Even if you try to avoid them, you still get bombarded. I get that's how the creator earns money, but it would be nice to have a choice. I find the game enjoyable and it helps pass the time. It's great for killing boredom, but just be prepared for all the ads if you decide to try it.

    I decided to pay to remove the ads, as it was only 3 dollars. It was worth it. It would be great if there were more cute items or cosmetic options available for purchase using oxygen. In general, the game is peaceful and easier to use compared to Abyssrium, another game that I love. This one is simpler and straightforward.

    The game's graphics are great, but the ads are excessive and too long. There should be more plant choices available. After unlocking all the plants, it becomes boring to just replant them. It takes 20 level-ups to unlock a new row, which is too many. It should only take 10. Gems should be easier to get by leveling up or completing challenges within the game. Overall, it's a decent beginning for a simple game, but it could use some enhancements.
