LevelModerate
LightPartial shade, no direct sun: too much light burns the edges of calathea leaves.
WateringCalathea needs high humidity: keep the soil permanently moist, without waterlogging. A closed terrarium suits it particularly well.
PetsCalathea is not known to be toxic. Fittonia can irritate cats and dogs if chewed.
The LEDSoft light in the evening. It does not replace daylight.

The three versions

Choose the version from the selector, above the add-to-cart button.

  • Essential: the container, the filling and the plants. You already have tweezers and a mister.
  • With tools: Essential, plus the tweezers, the mister and the cork tamper. The right choice for a first terrarium.
  • Complete: With tools, plus pine cones and reindeer moss, for the look of a forest floor.

The build

Allow an hour. Layers in order — clay pebbles, activated charcoal, potting soil — then the calathea at the back, the fittonias in front, the moss around their bases.

Care

Partial shade, no direct sun: too much light burns the edges of calathea leaves. The soil should stay moist without becoming waterlogged. Open the bottle for a few hours once a month.

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.

Reference

The calathea leaves are browning at the edges, what should I do?

Move the bottle away from the window: it's almost always too much direct light. Trim the damaged leaf with scissors.

Are there any ferns in this kit?

No. Woodland brings together a calathea and two fittonias. For a fern, see the Jungle kit.

Make it, step by step.
