Handmade Bio-active terrarium with a selection of lush plants and Highland Moss moss.

Our Bio-active terrarium is a house to springtails, super tiny white hexapods which live in soggy soil and feed on dead plant material and mould. Springtails are excellent for terrariums due to their amazing ability to self-regulate their population based on the space and food avability. You won’t be able to see them easily when working cleaning your terrarium.

 

Are you looking for something different? We offer custom-made mossarium and terrariums, perfect for a birthday or wedding gift instead of cut flowers. Contact us for more information.

How to look after a terrarium

Keep in a warm spot in bright indirect light and keep the soil slightly moist. Moss and terrarium plants thrive in high humidity!

 

How should I position my new terrarium to ensure the plants thrive?
Place your terrarium in a warm area with bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be too harsh, while low light may hinder growth. Ensure the location is stable and away from draughts to maintain a consistent environment.
What does ‘bio-active’ mean in the context of this terrarium?
‘Bio-active’ refers to the inclusion of springtails, which are microorganisms that help maintain the health of the terrarium’s ecosystem. They break down dead plant material and prevent mould, creating a self-sustaining environment that requires less maintenance.
Can I order this terrarium online for delivery?
This particular terrarium is available for collection only from our Aberdeen location at 61 Constitution Street, AB24 5ET, as its delicate ecosystem cannot be shipped without risk of damage.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium) – Your Handmade Bio-Active Terrarium Begonia Amphioxus thrives in bright, indirect light. Position it near a window where sunlight is filtered through a sheer curtain or place it in a well-lit room that doesn’t receive direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium) – Keep the soil consistently moist, but be cautious not to overwater. Water lightly whenever the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. The enclosed environment of the terrarium helps in retaining moisture, so water sparingly and check the humidity often.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm) – Begonia Amphioxus enjoys warmth. Ideal temperatures are between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your terrarium near cold drafts or heating vents.

💦 Humidity

💦💦💦 (High) – High humidity is crucial. The bio-active setup with Highland Moss helps maintain an ideal moisture level. Ensure the terrarium remains in a high humidity environment to keep your plants healthy and thriving.

🪴 Substrate and Bio-Active Components

The terrarium features a specially formulated substrate that supports moisture retention and healthy root growth. The inclusion of springtails helps break down detritus, preventing mould and maintaining a balanced microenvironment.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This terrarium is pet-friendly, but it’s best to keep it out of reach to avoid any accidental spills or the temptation for a curious nibble!

✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Place your terrarium in living rooms, studies, or bedrooms where it can be admired without direct sunlight. It’s a perfect conversation starter and adds a lush green touch to any room.

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying

While your terrarium is primarily a micro-ecosystem, it also contributes to air purification by absorbing toxins and producing oxygen, enhancing your home’s environment.

✨ Other Plant Features

Beyond its beauty, the Begonia Amphioxus in your terrarium is known for its unique leaf shapes and vibrant patterns, making it a fascinating specimen for plant enthusiasts.
