Question 1

Are your terrariums all the same?

Accepted Answer

No. Every Living Art terrarium is handmade and one of a kind.

While designs may be similar in style or size, each piece is a unique living ecosystem that will grow and change over time.

Question 2

Are the terrariums self-sustaining?

Accepted Answer

Many of our terrariums are designed to be low-maintenance and largely self-sustaining, especially closed terrariums.

That said, all living systems need some care. We provide guidance to help your terrarium thrive.

Question 3

How often do terrariums need watering?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of terrarium and its environment.
Closed terrariums usually need very little water.
Open terrariums may need occasional light watering.
Care instructions are provided with each terrarium.

Question 4

Where should I place my terrarium?

Accepted Answer

Terrariums prefer bright, indirect light.
 Avoid direct sunlight, heaters, air conditioners, or very dark spaces. We’re happy to help you choose the best spot for your specific terrarium.

Question 5

Do you offer delivery or courier shipping?

Accepted Answer

At this stage, we offer collection only from Faerie Glen, Pretoria.

Glass and living plants are delicate, and courier shipping is not suitable for terrariums.

Question 6

Can I request a custom-made terrarium?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom terrariums are available on request, depending on plant availability and design complexity.

Please get in touch to discuss your idea.

Question 7

Are terrariums suitable for offices?

Yes — our terrariums are ideal for offices and workspaces.

They bring greenery indoors without requiring constant attention and are a beautiful, calming presence in a work environment. Peak at the light and temperature requirements next to the product in the shop to help guide you which will work best for the location you have in mind.
