How to Care and Maintain Your Terrarium

🌞Placement
Place your terrarium in a spot where it receives bright, indirect sunlight or under a suitable artificial light source designed for plants. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause overheating and potentially damage the delicate plants inside.

💧 Watering
Once your terrarium is well established, you can reduce the frequency of watering—especially if it is a closed terrarium, which requires very little moisture. Watch for light condensation forming on the inside of the glass; this is a positive sign of balanced humidity. However, if you notice heavy condensation or water pooling at the bottom:

  • Open the lid briefly each day to allow excess moisture to escape and prevent mold growth.

  • Be sure to replace the lid afterward to keep the necessary humidity levels consistent.

🧼 Cleaning
Regularly wipe down both the inside and outside surfaces of the glass with a soft cloth or paper towel. This helps keep the glass clear of dust and smudges, ensuring that your plants continue to receive adequate natural or artificial light for healthy growth.

Maintenance & Pruning
If your terrarium becomes overcrowded or overgrown:

  • Trim back any plants and moss that have spread excessively.

  • Remove dead or yellowing leaves promptly to prevent decay and maintain a tidy appearance.

  • Adjust the overall layout carefully to restore the terrarium’s original aesthetic balance and promote the health of all the plants inside.
