The build
Allow an hour. Layers in order — clay pebbles, activated charcoal, potting soil — then the ficus in the centre, the other plants around it, moss at the base of the bonsai.
Care
Bright light, no direct sun: the ficus drops its leaves if it lacks light. Watering once or twice a year. A light trim once a year on the ficus and the asparagus.
Live plants
The plants leave the supplier and travel in an insulated parcel. Open the box on the day of delivery and build the terrarium within 48 hours. If a plant arrives damaged, send us a photo: we replace it.

Questions
Ask a questionThe ficus is dropping leaves after the build, is that serious?
No, it's transport shock. Give it more light, without direct sun: new leaves grow back within a few weeks.
Do I need to buy an extra filling refill?
No. The filling comes with the plants: moss, potting soil, clay pebbles and activated charcoal. To redo the base later, get the sizes L and XL refill.
Make it, step by step.
