DIY Medium Open and Closed Terrarium Kit

Product Information

It’s not aimed at kids per se, but with quality materials, it’s a nice option for an older child wanting to get to grips with terrarium layers. Yes, you can create a more elaborate setup with lights, this will also give you more options for plants.

For a natural light source, you’ll want your terrarium to be in a bright spot that’s out of direct sunlight.You can make up your tropical substrate mix using: a soil base like potting soil, bark that has not been dyed, sphagnum moss, and horticultural sand/grit. Our 10 litre angular closed glass bottle terrarium kit provides a contemporary feel for you indoor garden ecosystem. Our closed terrarium kits contain all the tools, soil, gravel, stones and charcoal you need. Suitable plants are also available as an option. What closed terrarium plants you have available will differ in different countries, but you’ll generally want a mix of all of these types of plants to get a natural-looking scene. Here we have one of my tropical terrariums with a bunch of ferns, epiphytes, and different tropical mosses.

Jade plants do well in closed terrariums, if you are asking about jade stones, these can also be placed in your terrarium to add colour. Please choose the option including plants and we will supply three suitable forest plants to suit your terrarium. Varieties include, Asparagus Fern, Peperomia and Fittonia plants. Not only does it include all the necessities (drainage stones, charcoal, soil pellets, moss, seeds, tools), but it also has all kinds of extra stuff that kids love.My meditating Buddha has been lost in his jungle! Roots have grown up the sides of the terrarium on the window side of the container. Add your gravel to the bottom of your bottle and sit your cut mesh barrier on top. For the stones, I used aquarium gravel to add some colour. You can use sand, but the evaporation is not as good. And, of course, it includes a fun figurine (a dino or a jungle, safari or garden animal) – you can’t go wrong! 5 | Best Terrarium Kit for Young Kids
