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.

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.

    How to Care for a Closed Terrarium

    Closed terrariums need balance, not frequent watering. These simple habits help your miniature ecosystem stay healthy.

    Use bright indirect light

    Place your terrarium where it gets bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent overheating inside the glass.

    Condensation is normal

    Light condensation is part of the natural water cycle in a healthy closed terrarium and will change with room temperature.

    Adjust moisture gently

    If constantly dripping, open the lid briefly to release humidity. If very dry for a long period, add only a small amount of water.

    Unpacking Excellence: A Gift Beyond Expectations!

    Thoroughly impressed by the quality of all the items included!!! So many great items/tools that will last beyond the terrarium it’s intended to create. Not only the items but the shipping materials, how it was packed, even the boxes are super nice!! It was an experience just unpacking it, got it for my boyfriend’s birthday and he was SO impressed! Also the condition the live plants came in was amazing, even after shipping across the whole country! And I had asked it to arrive on September 20th or 21st and it arrived exactly on time. I was skeptical to pay this much for a kit but it is well well worth it!

    Fast delivery and great kit quality! Unfortunately, all the plants arrived dead due to cold weather exposure during shipping. The items themselves are fantastic.

    My mother-in-love loved it. It looks great. i love the packaging and it shipped so fast!

    Pretty nice product and well put together kit. The only thing I will say is it may have needed another bag of the white pebbles to really fill the bottom out to the specified height.

    Loved this experience! It was a birthday present from my daughter's, and since we were in 3 different locations, New York, Albany Berkeley and So. Cal, we enjoyed doing it together on line. Nur was a great teacher and host! We learned so much, and the materials were great quality, all packed beautifully! A wonderful experience with a great result!

    Sarah P.

    I love it! It turned out so cute and the instructions and tutorial video were so great. It's been a couple of weeks and it's totally thriving.

    It says a 99% seal. There’s gaping holes where the door is supposed to be. I really wanted a sealed terrarium, but I suppose it looks pretty enough.

    We really love our terrarium. Nor was great to work with and made sure we received our terrarium kit in time for my son’s school makers fair. It was a huge hit. Beautiful, educational, and so many thoughtful details. It now lives on our coffee table in the front room where guests regularly comment on it. We will be ordering again for ourselves and as gifts. Highly recommend.

    Great gift idea! Low/no maintenance. It was for a part time florida home, we can't maintain plants so now we have a touch of greenery! Easy and fun to put together. The kit was meticulously packed. We put the video on and followed step by step. Really top notch!

    If you are looking for a terrarium, this is the seller!! My partner LOVED this gift. The packaging is beautiful with step by step instructions and high quality materials. It arrived from across the country within two days. A perfect starter kit for getting the steps and explanation for how to build and care for terrariums.
