Tall Recycled Glass Tropical Terrariums

Assorted Miniature Orchids, Tropical Plants & Living Moss


Height: 36 cm | Maximum Width: 21 cm | Recycled Glass


A little tropical forest, beautifully captured in recycled glass.


These elegant, tall terrariums bring a little piece of the tropical forest indoors. Crafted from recycled glass, their beautifully rounded bases and gently tapered necks create a wonderful window into a miniature landscape, while the narrow opening at the top allows just enough airflow to maintain a balanced, semi-closed ecosystem.


Each terrarium is individually planted and composed by Living Art, featuring its own unique combination of living mosses, miniature orchids, tropical plants, and natural decorative elements.

Depending on the arrangement, your terrarium may feature velvety jewel orchids, delicate miniature orchids, creeping tropical plants, graceful ferns, or other interesting tropical greenery. Living moss is always an essential part of the landscape, bringing softness, texture, and that wonderful forest-floor feeling.


Some arrangements are lush and densely planted, while others highlight interesting pieces of wood, delicate foliage, and natural textures.


No two terrariums are exactly alike.


Why I Love These

There's something particularly special about these tall recycled glass terrariums. Their generous rounded bases provide room for a miniature forest floor, while the narrowing glass draws your eye into the little world within.


I love how the height allows plants to grow naturally, creating beautiful layers of greenery and interesting contrasts between moss, foliage, and wood.

The recycled glass adds character of its own, giving each piece a slightly rustic, organic charm that works beautifully with the living landscape inside.

They're calm, elegant little ecosystems that continue to change and mature over time, bringing a touch of living art into your home or office.


A Little Ecosystem of Its Own

These terrariums are designed as semi-closed ecosystems, allowing minimal air exchange through the narrow opening at the top.

The glass helps retain humidity, creating a sheltered environment for moisture-loving tropical plants and mosses.

Once established and balanced, they require very little intervention.

Prefer a fully closed ecosystem? A suitable cork or glass stopper may be added on request, depending on availability and the needs of the plants inside.


Each Terrarium Includes

  • A tall decorative recycled glass container (approximately 36 cm high × 21 cm maximum diameter)

  • Assorted living mosses

  • A selection of miniature orchids and/or tropical plants, depending on the arrangement

  • A carefully layered drainage and substrate system

  • Natural decorative elements such as stones, bark, or wood

  • A general terrarium care guide


Please Note

The product photographs show examples of our Tall Recycled Glass Tropical Terrarium collection.

Every terrarium is individually made, so the plant selection, moss varieties, decorative details, and overall arrangement may vary depending on available stock.


As these containers are made from recycled glass, slight variations or small imperfections in the glass may occur, adding to their individual character.


Once your order is placed, we'll share photographs of the terrariums currently available so you can choose your favourite.


Lead Time: If no pre-built terrariums are available, please allow approximately 2 weeks for your terrarium to be specially created and established before collection.


A cork or glass stopper can also be requested if you'd prefer a fully closed terrarium, subject to compatibility, plant requirements, and availability.
