CARE GUIDE

Our closed terrariums create a naturally humid, self-sustaining ecosystem that requires minimal maintenance. Follow these simple care tips to keep your plants healthy and vibrant.

Light – Indirect & Gentle

✔ Bright, Indirect Light: Place your terrarium near a window with filtered light (north- or east-facing is ideal). Avoid direct sunlight, as the glass can trap heat and overheat your plants.
✔ Artificial Light Option: If natural light is insufficient, a soft grow light can help maintain plant health.

Watering – Rare but Essential

✔ Water Every 2–4 Weeks: Closed terrariums retain moisture exceptionally well, so watering is only needed when you notice dry soil or wilting plants.
✔ How to Water: Use a small pipette or spray bottle to gently add a few drops of distilled or filtered water at the base of the plants—never soak the soil.
✔ Check for Condensation: If heavy condensation builds up inside the glass, open the lid for a few hours to let excess moisture escape. If no condensation appears, a small amount of water may be needed.

Humidity & Ventilation – Maintaining Balance

✔ Condensation is Normal: A light mist on the glass means your terrarium is properly recycling moisture.
✔ Too Much Condensation? Wipe the glass and leave the lid slightly open for a few hours to adjust humidity.
✔ Ventilation Tip: Open the lid once a week for 10-15 minutes to allow fresh air circulation and prevent mold buildup.

Pruning & Maintenance

✔ Trim Overgrowth: If plants grow too tall or touch the glass, carefully trim them to maintain a balanced look.
✔ Refresh Decorative Elements: Over time, soil, sand, or rocks may shift—gently reposition them if needed.

Placement – Protect Your Terrarium

✔ Avoid Direct Heat or Cold: Keep away from radiators, air conditioners, or drafty windows to prevent temperature stress.
✔ Stable Environment: Maintain a temperature between 18-24°C (65-75°F) for optimal plant health.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

✔ Too Much Moisture? Open the lid briefly to release excess humidity.
✔ Wilting Leaves? Ensure the terrarium is not receiving direct sunlight and that the soil isn’t too dry.
✔ Mold Growth? Increase airflow by opening the lid more frequently and remove any affected plant material.

Self-Sustaining Ecosystem

A Thriving Ecosystem with Minimal Effort

Terrariums are naturally self-sustaining ecosystems, meaning they require little to no daily maintenance while continuing to thrive. Enclosed within a glass container, the plants inside create a miniature water cycle, where moisture continuously recirculates. Water evaporates from the soil and plant leaves, condenses on the glass, and then drips back down—keeping the environment perfectly balanced without frequent watering.

Ultra Low Maintenance

Effortless Plant Care

Unlike traditional houseplants, terrariums require very little upkeep while maintaining their lush, vibrant appearance. Thanks to their self-sustaining water cycle, they only need watering once every 3–4 weeks, making them an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles or minimal plant care experience. Simply place your terrarium in bright, indirect light, monitor condensation levels, and enjoy a thriving green oasis that practically takes care of itself.

Engaging & Easy to Assemble

Anyone Can Create a Thriving Terrarium

Terrariums are perfect for beginners and plant lovers alike, requiring no special skills or experience. Each kit includes all the essential components—carefully selected plants, nutrient-rich soil, decorative sand, and natural rocks—so you can easily create a thriving miniature ecosystem. With a step-by-step guide, assembling your terrarium is simple, making it a fun and rewarding experience for all.

Versatile & Timeless

A Calming, Stress-Relieving Green Space

Terrariums bring a sense of tranquility to any space, helping to reduce stress and enhance focus. Their lush greenery and natural textures promote relaxation and mindfulness, making them perfect for workspaces, meditation areas, or cozy corners. A simple glance at your thriving miniature ecosystem offers a refreshing escape from daily stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a terrarium?

A terrarium is a self-contained miniature garden enclosed in a glass container. It creates its own humidity and water cycle, allowing plants to thrive with minimal care.

How often do I need to water my terrarium?

Closed terrariums only need watering once every 3–4 weeks, as they naturally recycle moisture. If you notice excess condensation, leave the lid open for a few hours to balance humidity.

Do terrariums need sunlight?

Terrariums thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as the glass can trap heat and overheat the plants. If natural light is limited, a soft grow light can be used.

What’s included in the terrarium kit?

Each kit contains everything you need to create a thriving terrarium:

  • Carefully selected plants (e.g., fittonia, ferns, baby tears, bonsai, etc.)
  • Premium nutrient-rich soil mix
  • Drainage layer (LECA clay pebbles)
  • Decorative elements (sand, natural rocks)
  • A step-by-step guide for easy assembly

Can I open the lid of my terrarium?

Yes! While closed terrariums maintain their own humidity, it’s good practice to open the lid briefly every 1–2 weeks to allow fresh air in and prevent mold buildup.
