Kits to build: our advice

Complete sets bringing together a container, substrate layers, compatible plants and assembly tools to help you build your first terrarium successfully.
A terrarium kit brings together what works as one
Building a terrarium takes around ten elements that all need to work together: a container with the right proportions, a drainage layer, a suitable substrate, plants with similar needs, moss, and tools to work at the bottom of the jar. A kit avoids the two mistakes that ruin a first attempt: plants that can't cope with the container's conditions, and compost that's too rich and starts to ferment.
Each kit matches a precise format. The tropical kits and the moss bottle close up: they create a small water cycle and suit woodland plants. The desert kit stays open, with a mineral substrate and succulents. The cork-stoppered jar has a wide opening, handy for putting together a first scene without any special tools.
What you'll need to do
Allow one to two hours to put it together, no particular skill needed. Work on a protected table, lay out all the elements before you start, and stick to the order of the layers. To understand each step, follow How to build a closed terrarium or the succulent terrarium tutorial.
Tools and misting
Long tweezers, long-handled scissors and a cleaning brush make all the difference once the container's neck gets narrow: they let you place a plant or remove a damaged leaf without reaching in by hand. The mister is for moistening the substrate at set-up, then correcting a drop in humidity, without ever pouring water straight onto the glass. The Watering a terrarium guide explains the rhythm to keep to.
Still unsure which format to choose? The Find my project quiz will guide you with four questions.
FAQ
Questions about kits to build
Does a kit suit a complete beginner?
Yes. The elements are chosen to work together and the quantities are already measured out. All that's left is to follow the order of the layers and not overwater in the first few weeks.
Do you need tools on top of the kit?
For a wide-necked container, your hands are enough. As soon as the neck is narrow, long tweezers and a brush become necessary for placing the plants and cleaning the glass.
