Cabinet Case
Taller glazed cabinet for layered landscapes and more plants.
More volume means more stable climate and room to compose foreground, midground, and background. Slightly more watering judgment required.
When to choose
Choose a cabinet when you have space and want a living collection rather than a single jar scene.
Ventilation notes
Use rear vents or cracked doors on a schedule. Larger air volume forgives mistakes but hides soggy corners.
