    Rotate every few weeks for even growth.

    A few dried and rotten leaves are normal—remove them to keep your plant healthy and promote new growth.

Terrarium Care

SUCCULENT TERRARIUMS

Sunlight

Your succulents should be kept at room temperature and receive at least 6 hours of direct or indirect sunlight every day.

Watering

For smaller terrariums, we generally recommend watering your plant with 1-2 tablespoons of water. For larger terrariums, we recommend 2-3 tablespoons.

If your terrarium has a cactus, we recommend that you only water this particular plant with 2-3 tablespoons of water once a month depending on the size of the terrarium.

Allow for the soil in your container to dry out before you water your terrarium again.

When watering your terrarium, water the soil surrounding the roots of your plant — do NOT water directly on top of the leaves.

Room Conditions

If your terrarium is kept in a particularly hot room and/or receives intense sunlight during the day, you may need to water your terrarium more frequently — we recommend about once a week.

If your terrarium is in a colder room, we may recommend that you water your terrarium less frequently — around once every 3 weeks.

Cleaning

We recommend cleaning the glass of your terrarium at least once a month to allow the plant to properly absorb light. A paper towel or cloth with some glass cleaner or white vinegar works fine.

AIR PLANT TERRARIUMS

Sunlight

Air plants should be kept in bright, indirect sunlight. Periods of direct sunlight are just fine, but more than a few hours of hot sun will deplete the plants of their moisture.

Watering

Although air plants don't grow in soil, they like other plants, need to be watered. While the plants can survive for long periods of drought, they will not grow or thrive and will eventually die off if water is too scarce.

We recommend carefully removing your air plant from your terrarium and submerge it upside-down in a container of water for about 5-10 minutes before letting it dry out completely prior to placing back into your terrarium.

You can water your air plants once a week.

Cleaning

We recommend cleaning the glass of your terrarium at least once a month to allow the plant to properly absorb light. A paper towel or cloth with some glass cleaner or white vinegar works fine.

More information

All plants are unique, and you may need to pay close attention to your plant to find its perfect watering schedule. The watering instructions above are what we have personally found to work for us in our shop—we strongly recommend checking on your plant and its soil to learn how much water your plant needs and how frequently it needs it.

  • This list shows the general care for the different types of plants. If you want more information on your exact plant variety, feel free contact us, or do your own research to learn more.

  • *Non-toxic means the plants are considered human and pet-safe when accidentally ingested— but please do not feed any of these plants to your pets or children.

  • If you are at the early stage of your indoor planting journey, you might want to do an audit on the current status of your plants and their sunlight requirements. You might want to consider that the light spectrum needed from your Grow Light, depends on your plant’s stage of cultivation. Each plant and phases have different required specific ranges of the spectrum, luminous efficacy, and color temperature.

    All in all, Grow Light is such a wonderful technology that allows us to give proper “sunlight” requirements to our plants. Due to whatever circumstances, your plants can still thrive perfectly indoors with the help of Grow Light. Please be careful and consider the two types of Grow Light called Fluorescent and LED. The light requirements of each plant also vary and play an important role in using Grow Light. Some plants don’t need much intensity and duration, while others like leafy plants prefer cooler lights. Make sure that you also take note of the safety reminders of handling these apparatus as there is electricity involved.

  • In general, plants typically need less water in winter; most plants go dormant and are prepared for drier soil.. What you need to adjust will depend on your environment. For example, if you have the heat high in your house in winter, your plants may benefit from a humidifier. Take notice of how your plants react to winter conditions, and adjust accordingly.

  • A well-lit space without the sun directly on the plant, as this can cause the leaves to burn. Examples of bright, indirect light are filtered light (through curtains), a north or east-facing window, or a few feet back from west or south-facing windows.
