FAQs

What is the best way to water the terrarium?

Water sparingly. The enclosed environment recycles moisture. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Observe condensation levels as an indicator; heavy fogging means it's humid enough.

Can I place this terrarium in direct sunlight?

No, direct sunlight can cause the temperature inside the terrarium to rise rapidly, potentially cooking the plants. Place it in a location with bright, indirect light.

What types of plants are best suited for this terrarium?

Plants that thrive in high humidity and consistently moist soil are ideal. Examples include ferns, mosses, fittonia, pilea, and small ornamental foliage plants.

How often should I open the terrarium lid?

Initially, you may need to open it daily for a short period to regulate humidity. Once a stable environment is established, opening it might only be necessary every few weeks or if you notice excessive condensation or mold.

What are the dimensions of the terrarium?

The terrarium measures approximately H:40.0 x W:22.0 x D:22.0 cm.

Is the galvanised finish durable?

Yes, the galvanised metal finish is designed for durability and resistance to the elements within the terrarium's environment.

Does one order include more than one terrarium?

No, one order includes one terrarium.

Troubleshooting

Excessive condensation inside the terrarium

Open the lid for a few hours to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Ensure you haven't overwatered the soil initially.

Mold or fungus growth on plants or soil

Remove affected plant parts immediately. Increase ventilation by opening the lid for a short period each day until the issue is resolved. Consider using activated charcoal in the soil mix to help prevent future growth.

Plants appear wilted or dry

Check the soil moisture. If dry, add a small amount of water. If the plants are wilted despite moist soil, they may be suffering from root rot due to overwatering, requiring immediate attention to drainage and ventilation.

Yellowing leaves

This can be due to overwatering, underwatering, or insufficient light. Assess your watering schedule and the terrarium's location regarding light exposure.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the interior of the terrarium with a damp cloth.
  2. Add a drainage layer (e.g., gravel or leca balls) at the bottom.
  3. Introduce a layer of appropriate potting mix.
  4. Carefully plant your chosen species, ensuring roots are covered.
  5. Lightly water the soil, avoiding over-saturation.
  6. Close the lid to create the enclosed environment.

Compatibility:

This terrarium is best suited for plants that prefer high humidity and consistently moist soil, such as ferns, mosses, small foliage plants, and certain succulents that tolerate humidity. Avoid plants that require dry conditions or excellent airflow.

Care:

  • Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
  • Monitor internal humidity. If excessive condensation persists, briefly open the lid to allow some moisture to escape.
  • If mold appears, remove affected plant matter and increase ventilation temporarily.
  • Rotate the terrarium periodically to ensure even light exposure for plants.
