Closed Bioactive Terrarium Kit

Make a thriving, low maintenance mini-ecosystem with our terrarium Kit. Inspired by Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward’s Wardian Case, this beautiful kit has everything you need to create a living, closed bioactive environment that brings a bit of the exotic to your home. Bacteria play a big role in this ecosystem as they break down waste and cycle nutrients. Great for home or office decor, it’s functional and beautiful.

Kit

Our Bioactive Terrarium Kit is inspired by the historic Wardian Case, classic design meets modern innovation. A closed terrarium is a self contained, sustainable ecosystem that requires minimal maintenance. This kit includes hand harvested moss and two tropical plants, a living environment that brings the beauty of nature indoors. The geometric design also makes it a great gift for plant enthusiasts.

Our Story

We wanted to make a larger jar like our Wardian Cases. Closed terrariums have been used to create self contained mini ecosystems for centuries and that’s what inspired our design. We love geometric shapes so we thought a sphere shaped terrarium with a door would be a great idea. Our kit is a mini tropical paradise you can look at every day. Our passion for science and art led us to create this terrarium, it’s beautiful and educational. By looking at your mini ecosystem you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of nature and see how ecosystems thrive in a closed environment.

Design

All our jars are sealed and airtight. Inspired by the original Wardian Case by Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward our terrarium requires minimal maintenance. The hand collected moss and tropical plants are chosen to thrive in a closed environment so you won’t need to water your terrarium often. Our foolproof design lets you seal the geometric glass container fully so it’s a self contained ecosystem. Each terrarium comes with a sealed door to make it even more sustainable and self sufficient.

Travel often? This kit is for you. It requires little attention and will thrive while you’re away. You’ll come home to a happy mini garden.
