Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your terrarium created with our terrarium fairy garden kit is surprisingly straightforward, especially since terrariums are designed to be largely self-sustaining. The key to a thriving terrarium lies in its initial setup and understanding the basic needs of its inhabitants. Once you’ve assembled your terrarium, place it in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the interior to overheat, leading to plant stress or even death. A north-facing window or a spot several feet away from an east or west-facing window is usually ideal. Avoid placing it near heat vents or drafty areas, as stable temperatures are best for the miniature live plants.

Watering is minimal in a closed terrarium. After initial setup, you might not need to water again for several weeks or even months. Observe the condensation inside the terrarium; if the glass is consistently foggy, it’s too moist. If there’s no condensation and the soil appears dry, a small amount of water (a few tablespoons, depending on the size) might be needed. Use distilled or filtered water to prevent mineral buildup. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so always err on the side of caution. The included carbonized charcoal layer helps to filter the air and water within the terrarium, contributing to a healthy environment. The natural terrarium potting soil provides the necessary nutrients for your plants. Remember, the goal is to create your own terrarium that balances humidity and moisture.

Pruning might occasionally be necessary to maintain the desired size and shape of your plants. Use small, sharp scissors to trim any overgrown foliage. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly to prevent rot and maintain the health of your miniature ecosystem. While fertilizing is generally not required in terrariums due to the slow growth rate desired, if your plants appear to be struggling after several months, a very diluted, all-purpose liquid fertilizer can be applied sparingly. By following these simple guidelines, your living terrarium kit will continue to be a vibrant and beautiful display for a long time.
