TERRARIUM CARE GUIDE

1. Lighting

Place your terrarium in a brightly lit area
Avoid placing your terrariums under direct sunlight.
Direct exposure to sunlight or heat source (i.e lighting fixture) can cause your mosses to turn brown.

2. Water & Moisture

Moisture is essential for the survival of your moss in the terrarium. Since terrariums are essentially self-contained ecosystems in an enclosed jar, they ‘recycle and reuse’ the moisture through transpiration. Therefore, there is no need for frequent watering.
However, it is best to spritz your terrarium once every 3 to 4 weeks using non-chlorinated water (Best to avoid tap water)
An inadequate amount of moisture will cause the mosses to dry, turning yellow. Whereas, excessive watering will cause your moss to rot. In both cases, a perished terrarium. Hence the right balance is key.

3. Temperature

Heat draft or prolonged exposure to heat source (i.e server, heater, or radiator) is usually the main cause of failure for terrariums. Therefore, it is important that you do not place them in warm spots.
Cool (AC) to room temperature works for the terrariums.
Based on our experience, placing them in a cooler temperature room will spur the mosses to grow faster as compared to growing them at room temperature. Even so, they will still take some time to grow, but the end results are impressive and definitely rewarding.

4. General Maintenance

Take note of algae, dead plants, and mold that might grow in your terrarium. The humid conditions within the terrarium will encourage bacteria to grow and spread. Thus, It is important to remove them in order to keep your terrarium healthy.
