Frequent Questions

help

What is the size of the glass?

The original is 8x8x6 inches and the tall is 6x6x9 inches.

help

How does a terrarium work without air?

It actually has air inside. The plants recycle it naturally through photosynthesis, using carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during the day. Water also cycles inside the glass by evaporating and condensing, creating a self-sustaining mini ecosystem that stays balanced when kept in indirect light.

help

Will the plants survive if I keep them in the box for a few days?

While it can work, leaving them wrapped too long can cause stress or damage.

help

How to water?

Start with less water than you think, you can always add more later. Overwatering is much harder to fix. A few light sprays with our spray bottle is sufficient. If pouring water, do not drench soil! Just enough to make soil slightly damp.

help

Why use the lid?

The lid keeps the ecosystem inside cycling forever without interference. The cork lid will still allow water to evaporate over time but much slower.

help

How long should I keep the light on?

  • The plants do not require this LED for growth.
  • The LED is meant for decoration and ambience.
  • Use it when you want to admire your terrarium or display it.

Customer photo review of Light Up Terrarium Kit

Absolutely amazing and beautiful. I will be ordering more for Christmas gifts this year if you’re still selling by then. It was fun to put together as well as easy. I’m very excited about it Thank you!!!

Customer photo review of Light Up Terrarium Kit

I initially put too much soil in, so the plants were too tall in the jar. I removed some, replanted and am happy with the results. ( I probably could remove about 1/2 inch of the soil still). The directions said use about 60% of the soil, for me it’s closer to 50%. But it’s fun figuring it out. I’d love to see more of a ground cover plant option like string of frogs, for example.

My daughter is a high school senior so we bought her a Plant Orb that she can take with her when she attends college next year. She's a plant lover with a mischievous cat and this will keep the plants safe.

Customer photo review of Light Up Terrarium Kit

Everything came perfectly packaged and in great condition. Loved the easy and clear instructions. My goal this year was to make a terrarium and after pricing all of the items I’d need I wasn’t sure I wanted to make the investment. PlantOrb to the rescue! Everything I needed and nothing I didn’t! I have already found a tiny Sasquatch to hide in there! Sharing with all my coworkers who are jealous!

Terrarium Tool Kit

The actual item is beautiful, quality products that shipped quickly and very well packaged. Customer service is lacking. I emailed with a question and only response was to go look online. For such an expensive item I wanted to take the best care of Im disappointed a few minutes to answer my question was not taken. Most likely will not buy from again.

This was awesome. So cool. Very nice job on packaging and this product is high quality. It was super fun setting it up. And I love seeing it on my desk.

Light Up Terrarium Kit

The terrarium kit was really well packaged and it turned out beautifully. My only complaint is that one of the plants (asparagus fern I think) is too tall for the jar. Even if I planted it at the very bottom of the jar, it would still be too tall. I gave it a substantial trim and planted it anyway. Other than that it is beautiful and a fun project!
