Terrarium
Noun: A glass container in which plants are placed to grow.
Pronounced: TE- RAir-E-Um
But you can call it whatever you want: terraanium (most common answer), titanium, terradoobrywotsit... Just remember two things:
1 they are easy to care for
2 we do workshops where you can make one to take home
Care
All our terrariums are completely unique and designed carefully to be very low maintenance.
​
We add a carefully selected and tested balance of nutrients, plants, substrates and micro organisms to give you the best chance at keeping them healthy for longer.
​
All plants grow so will occasionally need pruning to keep them looking their best and keep them healthy.
​
Put them where the sun doesn't shine (directly); avoid direct sunlight and keep them away from any heat source.
If you see lots of condensation on the glass tilt the cork to vent for 24hrs; you should also vent your terrarium if the plants look 'sweaty' (i.e. they look wet), this will help prevent the build of moulds, especially in warmer weather.
​
Add water just a couple of times a year (at the most) until a pool begins to gather at the bottom of the terrarium. The substrates will then work their magic and push water back to the plants.
​
Open terrariums will need watered more often. As a rule of thumb water if the moss feels dry, don't if its feeling moist.
