Care Instructions

Position: Keep away from direct sunlight, radiators, and cold drafts

Closed terrariums naturally recycle moisture inside the container, meaning they usually require very little watering once established.

If you are purchasing the Upgraded Kit, please unpack the plants and live moss as soon as possible. If it's a gift for later, keep the plants and moss happy by looking after them separately until the terrarium is ready to be built.
