FAQs
What is the recommended age for this kit?
This kit is generally designed for children who are ready to engage in hands-on science activities, typically starting around 7-8 years old with adult assistance.
Can I use my own seeds?
While the kit provides seeds, you can experiment with other small, fast-growing seeds once the initial plants have completed their cycle, provided they thrive in a terrarium environment.
Does the kit come with soil?
Yes, the kit includes the necessary planting materials to get your ecosystem started.
How often should I water the terrarium?
Check the soil moisture every few days. Only add water when the surface soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
Where is the best place to keep the terrarium?
Keep it in a bright location with plenty of indirect natural light, away from heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight.
Is the terrarium dishwasher safe?
No, you should clean the plastic components gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, ensuring everything is dry before re-assembly.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not sprouting
Ensure the seeds have adequate access to indirect light and that the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mold appearing in the terrarium
Reduce watering frequency and ensure the terrarium is in a well-ventilated area to allow excess humidity to escape.
Plants looking wilted or yellow
Move the terrarium to an area with different light exposure, as either too much direct sun or too little light can affect leaf health.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward but should be done on a flat, stable surface. Start by clearing a workspace and organizing the decorative items. Follow the instruction manual carefully when placing the soil and seeds to ensure they have enough room to take root. For long-term care, ensure you do not overwater, as the enclosed nature of the terrarium can easily become too humid, which may lead to mold growth. Check the moisture levels by touching the soil lightly; if it is damp, wait before adding more water. Keep the exterior clear of dust to ensure maximum light penetration for your plants.
