Location & Light 

Terrariums can thrive under a range of lighting environments.

• Keep your Terrarium anywhere from Bright, Indirect Light, to Low-Light conditions.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can overheat the glass and damage plants.
• If natural light is limited, a small LED light on top is a good supplement (optional).
• Maintain a stable indoor temperature: ideally 18–24 °C (65–75 °F). Avoid placing near heaters,        radiators, or cold drafts.

• Once your terrarium has settled, avoid any drastic changes to lighting/temperature.

Watering & Humidity

Terrariums require minimal watering due to their natural water cycle. Look for condensation inside the glass.

• Healthy Condensation: Water droplets covering up to 1/4 of the glass is ideal.

• Remember that overwatering is the biggest killer of Terrariums, water only when necessary.

• If heavy condensation persists throughout the day or water pools at the bottom, remove the lid  for a few hours/days.

• Mist lightly (2–3 sprays) when there is no morning/night condensation.

• Use filtered, distilled, or dechlorinated water only.

Cleaning & Trimming

Care approaches differ and come down to personal preference, Some enjoy allowing their Terrariums to do their own wild thing, while others enjoy regular maintenance.

• Remove dead leaves or debris regularly, Trim plants if they grow too tall or dense.

• Clean the outside glass with a soft cloth or a kitchen towell.

Springtails & Bioactivity

A balanced terrarium is a living ecosystem, where springtails play a key role in waste breakdown and overall system health.

• Springtails are a natural cleaning crew that eat dead leaves and mold, keeping the soil healthy.    If they boom in number, it’s a sign of excess moisture.
• If the terrarium stays dry too long, they might die — though this is uncommon.
