Terrarium, Vivarium and Mossarium Potting Mix Soil by Highland Moss

Description

The Highland Moss Terrarium Potting Mix is a handmade blend of high-quality ingredients that are specially formulated for terrariums. This premium mix is perfect for creating a base for a lush, healthy, and vibrant terrarium environment.

Suitable for open and closed terrariums, mossariums, moss bowls and kokedama.

The mix includes a combination of our fresh, hand-picked sphagnum moss with other ingredients to create ideal drainage, water retention and humidity inside your terrarium to ensure optimal plant growth.

IMPORTANT

Please always make sure to use a good quality, suitable growing medium in your terrarium as it plays a crucial role in the overall health and growth of plants. Poor soil or not suitable for terrarium soil can lead to poor drainage, waterlogging, and poor nutrient uptake and result in weak & unhealthy ecosystems. Good quality soil ensures that your plants and moss have the proper environment to thrive, promoting healthy growth and long-lasting beauty in your terrariums.

Sizes:

0.5L – Suitable for medium terrariums (for example 25cm height & 16cm base).

1L – Suitable for large terrariums.

3L – Suitable for extra large terrariums or a few smaller ones.

We measure the terrarium growing medium by weight because some of its components, such as sphagnum moss, are very spongy and the volume may vary depending on how much the soil is compressed.

Please note that in an effort to minimize packaging and waste in our shop, we may pack larger quantities of our products including soil,  into larger bags. For example, if you order 2 bags of 0.5l, you may receive one bag with 1l of the product. This is to reduce the amount of packaging and waste and be more eco-friendly. If you have any concerns or special requests regarding the packaging of your order, please contact us before placing your order. We are committed to being environmentally responsible and appreciate your understanding. The terrarium’s growing medium is packaged in ziplock bags that can be stored for a long time if not used. Keep them in a cool, dark place.
