Kits terrarium avec bocal en verre

Choosing your kit depends on your aesthetic preferences and available space. Closed terrariums are perfect for beginners as they create a self-sustaining ecosystem requiring minimal maintenance. Opt for a large glass container if you want to create an elaborate landscape.

Prioritize kits including tropical plants like fittonia or mosses for a closed terrarium, or succulents for an open terrarium. Verify that the kit contains all essential elements: draining substrate, activated charcoal, moss, and planting tools.

For your first terrarium, choose a kit with a detailed guide that will help you through each creation step.

Preparation and assembly

Your terrarium's success begins with careful preparation. Thoroughly clean the glass container with alcohol to remove any traces of grease. First, lay a 2-3 cm layer of gravel or clay pellets for drainage, then add activated charcoal which will purify water and prevent mold growth.

Next, place natural moss with the green side down to create a barrier between the substrate and drainage layer. This crucial step prevents soil from mixing with the gravel.

Planting and landscaping

Lightly moisten the substrate before planting. Gently remove your plants by taking excess soil off the roots. Dig small holes with your tools and install plants starting with the largest at the back, then smaller ones in front.

Pack lightly around roots and add your decorative elements: moss, stones, figurines. Lightly mist the walls and close the container.

Care and monitoring

During the first few days, watch for condensation. If walls are completely fogged, leave the lid slightly open for a few hours. A light condensation layer in the morning that evaporates throughout the day is ideal. Place your terrarium near a window without direct sunlight and enjoy your miniature ecosystem flourish.
