Does the kit include the plants?

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not sprouting

Verify that the seeds have sufficient moisture and are not buried too deeply in the soil; ensure they are in a well-lit area without extreme temperature fluctuations.

Mold growth on the soil surface

This often occurs due to overwatering. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly and ensure the habitat has proper airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup begins by organizing the components and following the provided manual to construct the elephant structure. Ensure the soil is evenly distributed to create a stable base for the seeds. For ongoing care, monitor the soil moisture daily—it should be damp but not waterlogged. Avoid placing the unit in direct, harsh sun, which can cause excessive evaporation or heat damage to young plants. Periodic cleaning of the transparent surfaces ensures maximum light penetration for photosynthesis.
