About this deal

As we’ve touched on earlier, bright indirect light is the name of the game in closed terrarium care. Plenty of energy and none of the risk of scorching.

Isopods like woodlice and worms can thrive in a closed terrarium. They will become part of the ecosystem producing waste that will get broken down to feed the plants. And it’s perfect for someone wanting to jump straight into building a more significant piece. A solid terrarium set all ready to go! (Image Credit: BTVTerrariumKits) Yes, worms can serve in a closed terrarium with the correct setup, these can be used in terrariums built from local habitats. Think of building a scene, like a Mayan jungle setting. Mine totally changed once I added my Buddha figure. Alternatively, EK Terrariums also has plenty of ready-made mossariums if you fancy skipping the DIY element altogether. 4 | Best Terrarium Kit for Older KidsTerrariums are made for plants, while vivariums are built to house animals, though both may have the same environments. After all, even containers with large openings like fish tanks/fish bowls can make stunning terrariums. Okay, the first step to a harmonious closed terrarium ecosystem is choosing your plants that’ll thrive in the moist environment and humid air. So we’ve got that covered. Now we’re onto the more nuanced things to consider.

Small house plants work best, but make sure you buy miniature versions e.g. Polka dot plants, Peperomia Miniature, Miniature English ivyThe closed terrarium water cycle mimics that found in nature. Once water is added to the terrarium and the lid closed, it becomes continually recycled. Water droplets form inside the glass container due to condensation and the plants giving off water through their pores (stomates) during photosynthesis. Water then runs down the jar into the soil, and the process repeats. One that’s able to effectively support itself with minimal effort or intervention by recreating many of the world’s natural cycles. 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. 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. Unlike the majority of kids’ kits available, which are decorative open terrarium builds, this kit has luscious live moss, which is appropriate for a closed container. And it’s reasonably priced, too!

Add the same amount of substrate to your bottle as you did stones, so you get nice layers. The substrate needs to be deep enough actually to plant the roots, so don’t be too sparing. This is where I initially went wrong.
