As we work with fresh plants and moss, varieties may vary slightly depending on availability. Our eco-glass containers may include air bubbles or subtle imperfections, adding to the character and individuality of each piece.

Our glass terrarium are made from eco-friendly recycled glass. You may notice air bubbles, lines, or other cosmetic marks from the manufacturing process. This is normal for eco-glass and does not affect the strength or use of the container. We do not accept returns based on glass imperfections.

You can create the terrarium using a selection of our terrarium tools. You can also add springtails and isopods to your terrarium to create a bioactive environment.

Plants will be selected randomly from our terrarium plants stock and may include:

Moss which you will be using on the top of the container will be also selected from our fresh stock and may vary depending on what we collected! Please clean and make sure is moist before use.

Pictures represent different combinations of plants, please use them as an example. Tools, wood, cork, decorative stones or mini figures not included.

Q1: What plants will I receive in my Classic Terrarium Starter Kit, and how do I ensure they thrive?
A1: The plants are randomly selected from varieties like Calathea, Ferns, and Begonias, which are all suitable for terrarium environments. Ensure they thrive by placing your terrarium in indirect light, maintaining high humidity inside, and watering sparingly, as described in the included care instructions.

Q2: Can I add bioactive components to my terrarium, and what benefit do they provide?
A2: Absolutely, you can enhance your terrarium with springtails and isopods available as add-ons. These organisms help in breaking down decay inside the terrarium, thereby preventing mould and odours, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Q3: What is the purpose of the clay pebbles included in the kit, and how should I use them?
A3: Clay pebbles serve as a drainage layer to prevent root rot by keeping excess water away from the plant roots. Place them at the bottom of your terrarium before adding the special terrarium mix potting blend and the plants.
