Know before you buy
No, the terrarium does not feature drainage holes. Because it is a sealed environment, we recommend using a layer of activated charcoal and gravel at the base to prevent water stagnation and root rot.
This terrarium is designed for terrestrial plants that prefer high humidity and indirect light, such as ferns, mosses, or small tropical foliage. It is best suited for moisture-loving species that benefit from the enclosed glass environment.
The structure features accessible panels that allow you to reach inside for planting, pruning, and routine cleaning. The design balances a secure, enclosed aesthetic with the functionality needed to care for your greenery.
The frame is constructed from sturdy metal designed for indoor use. While it is durable, we recommend wiping away any excess moisture or condensation from the metal surfaces during your routine maintenance to preserve the finish over time.
We advise against placing the terrarium in direct, harsh sunlight. The glass panels are designed to maximize light exposure, and direct sun can create a greenhouse effect that may overheat your plants.
