Bioloark Luji Glass Cup MY-120

Terrariums are fascinating in every way. You're able to completely control not only the environment but also precisely what you decide to grow. Learning is nice and steady which means you'll enjoy the ride.

Typically plants in terrariums grow quite slowly especially if you are using moss. This means that maintenance is limited - the occasional trim, the occasional mist is all that's generally needed. The process is always enjoyable whilst the end results are impressive.

There's various lighting options with terrariums - some of the models we sell have built in lighting so they're ready to go, straight out of the box. On the other end of the scale are the smaller one's and these will need lighting for your plants to survive.

How much light do I need?

This depends on the plants that you are growing. Some need very little and some require a bit more. The plant labels will show you how bright the light needs to be.

Can I place it on a window ledge?

For smaller terrariums and if you're not investing in artificial illumination, I'd recommend you position them near a window but not on the ledge. Lighting is too intense for most plants there (unless you're choosing a succulent or cacti). Bright, indirect light is ideal and that means no direct sunlight to avoid scorching and fluctuating humidity levels.
