FAQs
Does this kit include live plants?
No, this kit is designed as an accessory set and does not include live succulents or plants.
Can I use this for non-succulent plants?
While intended for succulents, you can use it for other small plants, provided they are compatible with the container size and low drainage environment.
Is the vase dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the glass vase with mild soap and water to prevent potential scratches or thermal shock.
What type of soil should I buy?
Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent-specific potting mix, which can be found at most garden centers.
How do I prevent the moss from drying out?
If you are using real preserved moss, it may stay dry naturally; if you are using live moss, it will require light misting, which may not be compatible with desert succulents.
Can I use this kit for a fish bowl?
The vessel is designed for terrarium use and is not recommended as an aquarium for live fish due to the lack of filtration and proper volume.
Troubleshooting
Substrate layers are mixing together
Use a small funnel or a piece of rolled paper to guide the sand and rocks to the edges of the glass, rather than dumping them into the center.
Water pooling at the bottom of the glass
Reduce watering frequency immediately and ensure the plant is not sitting in saturated soil; ensure you have enough base rocks for proper drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your terrarium, start by thoroughly cleaning the interior of the glass vase. Since the kit lacks a drainage hole, place your largest stones at the bottom to prevent root rot. Layer the sand and finer rocks on top, then place your succulent and its potting medium in the center. Use the moss or seaweed to fill in any empty gaps around the base of the plant. To maintain your display, place the jar in a spot with indirect sunlight. Since succulents are drought-tolerant, only water when the soil feels completely dry, taking care not to disturb the decorative rock patterns.
