Specifications
This gravel forms the drainage layer at the bottom of the terrarium. It holds excess water so the roots do not sit in it, and stays visible as a band through the glass.
Full description and specifications
Choose the colour
- White — contrasts with the soil and moss on top.
- Black — a dark band at the base of the terrarium.
Why a drainage layer
In a closed terrarium, water has nowhere to go. Without a drainage layer, it stays in contact with the soil and the roots end up rotting. The gravel stores it at the bottom, out of reach of the roots, and it slowly evaporates within the closed cycle.
How to use it
- Pour a 2 to 4 cm layer at the bottom of the jar or bottle, before anything else
- Spread the gravel evenly so the water circulates across the whole base
- Add a thin layer of activated charcoal on top, then the potting soil

Questions
Ask a questionHow much gravel do I need per terrarium?
Count on a 2 to 4 cm layer at the bottom of the container; the exact height depends on the size of the jar or bottle. A 5 kg bag fills several terrariums of common size.
Why choose white gravel over black?
It's a question of look: white contrasts with dark soil and green moss, while black blends more into the display. The drainage role is identical.
