Building & Caring for Your Terrarium
The build guide takes you through each stage, from preparing the drainage and decorative layers to planting, adding the finishing touches, and the first light watering.
The included care guide explains how to look after your terrarium once it is built, including light, temperature, watering, condensation, and airflow.
Tall tropical terrariums are designed to be low maintenance once established. They prefer low to medium indirect light, a stable indoor temperature, and very careful watering. The most important things to avoid are direct sun on the glass and overwatering.
Please Note
Each kit is individually prepared, so the exact moss, wood, stones, and decorative details may vary slightly from the product photos. Every kit will still include the glass, moss, essential building layers, and natural decorative materials needed to create the same tall tropical terrarium style.
Plants shown in product photographs are for inspiration and are not included in the base price.
Shipping Note
The listed price does not include shipping. If you would like your kit shipped, this can be arranged after your order is placed. Shipping costs will be calculated based on the delivery location, parcel size, and courier requirements, and the final amount will be adjusted accordingly before dispatch.
