Closed Terrariums

Warmth, 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.

Even 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.
