Bring the magic of nature indoors with our premium DIY Ecosystem Terrarium Kit. Designed with both beginner plant parents and seasoned indoor gardeners in mind, this sleek, teardrop-shaped glass terrarium provides the perfect self-contained environment for moisture-loving or carnivorous plants. It makes a wonderful weekend project, an engaging activity to do with the kids, or a highly sophisticated gift for any plant collector.

The centerpiece of this kit is its smart engineering. The custom-molded black lid features a built-in vented design that perfectly balances airflow and humidity levels while completely hiding a full-spectrum LED grow light. With customizable timers and brightness levels, this kit handles the hard work of environmental tracking for you. We assemble every single kit by hand on our property, combining heavy-duty glass, premium handcrafted substrate blends, and artisan accents so you can create a beautiful, pristine landscape on any desk or shelf.

What’s Included in Your Complete Kit:

Premium Tapered Glass Vessel: High-clarity, heavy-duty glass container with an elegant, modern silhouette.
Smart LED Ventilation Lid: Integrated multi-functional full-spectrum grow light with a discrete black power cable.
Premium Substrate & Drainage Blend: Ideal organic soil mix designed specifically for humidity-loving and carnivorous setups.
Curated Decorative Accents: Mini decorative pieces to fully personalize your finished miniature landscape.

Care Instructions

Light Requirements: Power on the integrated smart LED grow light to provide full-spectrum simulated sunlight. Use the built-in controller to program your automatic day/night cycles. Keep the glass vessel completely out of harsh, direct window sun to prevent heat from trapping inside the enclosure.
Watering: If using this setup for carnivorous plants, water the substrate exclusively with distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Avoid tap water entirely to protect the roots from mineral buildup.
Humidity & Airflow: Monitor the moisture levels using the clear glass walls. If excessive condensation forms, adjust your built-in ventilation cover slightly to increase airflow until the view clears up.

Pet Safety Information

Toxicity: Safe for pets. The hardware, glass, substrate mix, and suggested add-on plants (like Venus Flytraps or live moss) are 100% non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, because this setup uses high-clarity glass and electrical components, we recommend placing it on a secure tabletop or desk away from playful pets.
