I completely disagree.
Plants grown outdoors in an appropriate climate (and Greece would be such a
climate), thrive and do much better than terrarium grown plants. Besides,
they end up more robust.
One suggestion is that you use a pot rather larger than it would seem
necessary: it keeps the water table lower from the surface, and allows for
plenty of growth.
