Ficus Bonsai Terrarium DIY Kit

Bring a little indoor jungle to life with our Ficus Bonsai Terrarium DIY Kit, a complete terrarium making set designed to help you create a beautiful closed glass ecosystem at home.

This kit includes everything you need to build your own Ficus Bonsai terrarium, including a characterful Ficus Bonsai plant, fresh moss, drainage and planting layers, glassware, cork lid and printed instructions. Simply follow the steps, add each layer, position your plant and moss, then watch your mini landscape settle into its new home.

This kit also includes live springtails, tiny beneficial terrarium creatures that help keep the enclosed environment balanced. They feed on small amounts of decaying organic matter and can help reduce mould, making them especially useful in closed terrariums with moss and natural materials. Springtails are live and very small. They may not always be immediately visible in the pot or culture, but they will spread through the terrarium once added.

The Ficus Bonsai adds height, structure and a woodland feel, while the moss creates a lush green base around the plant. Once established, the enclosed glass container helps create a humid environment that suits both moss and terrarium-friendly plants.

This is a lovely choice for beginners, plant collectors, creative evenings, gifts, birthdays, housewarmings or anyone who wants to make something beautiful with their hands.

How often will I need to water it?
