Specifications

An open terrarium is never sealed: the cork sits loosely with no airtight seal, air circulates, and the plants stay within reach at any time for watering or trimming. It is a build that asks for a little more upkeep than a closed jar, in exchange for direct access to the plants.

What the kit contains

The jar

  • Glass jar, open, Ø 16 cm × H 30 cm, with a cork

The live plants (2 plants)

  • Ficus ginseng bonsai — 1 plant
  • Fittonia Ruby Lime

The filling, sizes S and M

  • 2 cushions of fresh moss
  • Terrarium potting soil — 0.75 L
  • Clay pebbles for drainage — 0.75 L
  • Activated charcoal — 35 g
  • 5-step assembly guide and care sheet

Small Eden size: M — the letter tells you which filling refill to take: the sizes S and M refill.

The build

The kit arrives flat. The layers go in order — clay pebbles, activated charcoal, potting soil — then the bonsai, the fittonia and the moss. The illustrated guide walks you through the five steps.

Care

Unlike a closed terrarium, this one needs a little regular watering: keep the potting soil lightly moist, without soaking it. If the moss dries out and loses its colour, take it out, soak it briefly in water, then put it back.

Live plants

The plants leave the grower 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.

Care

LevelModerate
LightBright light, no direct sun.
WateringOpen terrarium: keep the potting soil lightly moist, water as soon as the surface dries. The moss revives by soaking if it turns brown.
PetsThe ficus and the fittonia can irritate cats and dogs if chewed. This open terrarium is not out of their reach: place it up high if needed.

Often bought together.

Is this terrarium closed or open?

Open: the cork is not airtight. It needs a little regular watering, unlike a closed terrarium that recycles its own water.

Can I choose plants other than the bonsai and the fittonia?

No, this pair is fixed for this reference. For a random choice based on the harvest, see our equivalent closed terrarium kits.
