Cosy, Comfy and Curly
Designer Gardens in a Bottle
Each terrarium in our collection is truly one of a kind, and specially curated to bring year-round interest.
We teamed up with local plant growers and stylists who created these exclusive bottled gardens that exude massive doses of cocooning and plant-love.
Whatever the weather, whatever the restrictions, a terrarium lets you enjoy the natural world from the comfort of the great indoors.

Angkor
£42.00 Add to basketBring a feel of the rainforest into a cosy living or work area: our one of a kind designer ‘Angkor’ terrarium was created for a shelf or tabletop that needs an accent piece, but where space is limited.
This moody planting of a variegated Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila), a delicate-leaved Asparagus Fern and earthy moss around a substantial slab of lava rock, all rising out of a bed of mysterious black gravel, evoke a lost city deep in a tropical jungle.
As well as being cheerful and beautiful, this terrarium is a complete ecosystem with tiny hexapods called springtails that do the cleaning up. They’ll eat up any mould, bacteria and old plant bits that die off. They also help aerate and fertilise the soil, meaning less maintenance in keeping your terrarium healthy!
This nearly self-sustaining indoor garden is housed in a robust 15 cm tall glass cone, for all-around viewing all year long. It will do best in a bright spot, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat. It comes with its own cork cover, which decreases evaporation and keeps watering down to a minimum.
A care sheet and a pipette for watering are provided with your purchase, and we’re just an email away if you have any questions.
Variegated tropical plants are in very high demand right now, so our green and white-tinged Ficus pumila is a great find – either as a treat for yourself, or as a special gift for that plant-loving friend. ‘Angkor’ is the only one of its kind; don’t miss this opportunity to have your own unique mini-jungle!

Stonecrop Circle
£42.00 Add to basketImmerse yourself in a land of adventure and sunshine without the need for airfare and baggage. Stonecrop Circle is one of our bespoke terrariums that transport the arid, rocky mountain gorges directly into your living room.
This rugged and mysterious planting consists of several Crassula orbicularis succulents, surrounding a branch of Contorted Hazel on a bed of pale gravel. This evokes the cliff faces and semi-desert conditions of the plant’s native South Africa.
As well as being unusual and beautiful, this terrarium is a complete ecosystem with tiny hexapods called springtails that do the cleaning up. They’ll eat up any mould, bacteria and old plant bits that die off. They also help aerate and fertilise the soil, meaning less maintenance in keeping your terrarium healthy!
This nearly self-sustaining indoor wilderness is housed in a robust 15 cm tall glass cone, for all-around viewing all year long. It will do best in a bright spot, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.
As it is an open terrarium, watering may need to be more frequent, especially during the warm summer days or when the central heating is running.
A care sheet and a pipette for watering are provided with your purchase, and we’re just an email away if you have any questions.
Transform a shelf or a tabletop with a Stonecrop Circle open terrarium: the accent piece that brings the experience of the wild outdoors right into your living space.

Summer Moonshine
£79.00 Add to basketWarmth, coolness and space, all in one vintage-looking bottle: Summer Moonshine has everything to light up your world indoors.
It took a while to coax them in, but a Creeping Fig Ficus pumila, a pink-leaved Fittonia (nerve plant), and the tiny Artillery Plant Pilea microphylla are thriving happily together in this miniature garden in a bottle.
Helping to maintain the health of this ecosystem are some hexapods called springtails, that we’ve added to do the clean-up. They’ll eat up any mould, bacteria and old plant bits that die off. They also help aerate and fertilise the soil, meaning less maintenance in keeping your terrarium healthy!
This nearly self-sustaining indoor garden is housed in a 17cm tall apothecary-style glass bottle, for that retro feel with all-around viewing all year long. Summer Moonshine will do best in a bright spot, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat. Watering is minimal, since the terrarium has its own cork cover to decrease evaporation.
A care sheet and a pipette for watering are provided with your purchase, and we’re just an email away if you have any questions.
Start converting your living space into a mini paradise, one terrarium at a time…

Obsidian Special
£90.00 Add to basketEven during cold, dark days, our Obsidian Special terrarium will add a touch of bright energy to any living space. It can also be a source of relaxation—either for yourself or a loved one—just when sitting down with a nice cuppa to enjoy a vibrant spot of greenery.
This cheerful planting of pink Fittonia, Ceropegia woodii ‘String of Hearts’ which produces unusual pink/purple flowers, fern-like Selaginella, and moss is accented by a piece of sustainably sourced obsidian rough from California. The iron oxide inclusions within this unpolished, natural stone give it that deep pinkish-orange hue.
We only have very few specimens of this obsidian, so this would be a truly one of a kind gift indeed!
As well as being cheerful and beautiful, this terrarium is a complete ecosystem with tiny springtails that do the cleaning up. They’ll eat up any mould, bacteria and old plant bits that die off. They also help aerate and fertilise the soil, meaning less maintenance in keeping your terrarium healthy!
This nearly self-sufficient indoor garden is housed in a 19cm round glass globe, for all-around viewing all year long. It will do best in a bright spot, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat. If comes with its own cork cover, which decreases evaporation and keeps watering down to a minimum.
A care sheet and a pipette for watering are provided with your purchase, and we’re just an email away if you have any questions.

Pipette
£1.80 – £2.50 Select optionsIf allowed to go unnoticed, either overwatering or underwatering plants in any container can be a disaster. So using a pipette is a recommended method for watering your terrarium – whether it’s a closed terrarium or open.
Our 10ml plastic pipette is approx. 30 cm (11.5 in) long, making it perfect for most terrarium sizes and shapes. Its length is adequate for reaching into nooks and crannies, for getting past leaves and stems without damaging plants.
Although watering isn’t often needed in a closed terrarium, moisture needs to be put back into the soil every few months. Open terrariums will require watering, particularly in the growing season, and a pipette will make it that much easier. Let our pipette help you by bringing more control over water flow and precise positioning of the outlet tip.
Take some of the guesswork out of maintaining your terrariums; get a pipette for yourself (and another for a plant-loving friend).
-
Mist Spray Bottles
£7.00 – £8.50 Select optionsWhen you need to boost the humidity in your terrarium and give your tropical plants a pick-me-up, then a quick spray could be just the thing. Misting can also be a way of minimising the risk of overwatering your terrarium. And other humidity-loving houseplants may also benefit from a light spritz, particularly when the central heating is on.
If you live in a hard water area, using distilled or de-ionised water in your spray bottle will also avoid the build-up of limescale on your terrarium glass and the leaves of your plants.
Attractive, re-usable and practical, these jewel-toned spray bottles are also easy to use: just fill up and spray away! Each bottle is about 14cm tall, compact enough to carry easily, while delivering a uniform, fine-mist spray.
Available in limited quantities.
Choose from either of our 100 ml misters: the Ultramarine blue glass bottle with a dark atomiser, or the Turquoise BPA-free plastic bottle with white atomiser.

The warm colours of Autumn Brocade bring to mind the fruits and flowers of the season, sitting outdoors and relaxing in the last of the autumn breeze.
Newly bought houseplants can be allowed to grow and acclimatise to your indoor conditions. There’s no need to repot a plant as soon as it gets home from the garden centre as this could disrupt its roots and cause stress.

Each of our cachepot sets has been sealed with primer, meticulously painted by hand with a low toxicity, water-based acrylic paint, then varnished for added protection.

To clean your cachepot set, we recommend wiping with a soft, damp cloth (a microfibre cloth is also a good option).
These cachepots are intended for indoor use only. We do not advise you to use them for planting directly into; we don’t advise these for outdoor use either.
