What type of plants are included in the kit and how do I care for them?: The kit comes with a hand-picked selection of humidity-loving plants perfect for terrarium environments. These plants thrive in moist, indirect light conditions—just ensure the terrarium is not placed in direct sunlight to avoid overheating and scorching the plants.
Can I use this kit for creating both open and closed terrariums?: This kit is ideal for closed terrariums, which require layers that support high humidity and moisture retention. While primarily designed for closed setups, with slight modifications in watering frequency, the components can also be adapted for open terrariums.
Is the Terrarium Substrate Layers and Plants Kit sustainable and eco-friendly?: Yes, the kit features sustainably sourced materials including eco-friendly pebbles and moss. By promoting a self-sustaining ecosystem, it also encourages a natural and environmentally conscious approach to gardening.

I really enjoyed the workshop which was absolutely perfect – I learned so much and the information given was spot on step by step. I know that I will be visiting the shop often given my already love of plants – particularly house plants and of course to say hello ‍♂️ and see Noel and Angus – they are lovely and an asset to your business. Thank you all so much.

Fantastic kit. I made my first terrarium with my own container and this kit. It looked pretty good once I’d done
