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

Mine came right after a big surgery so it was a perfect distraction! Easy to put together, love watching the moss absorb the moisture and come to life, and all three of my plants were happy/healthy despite waiting a day at the post office. I even added a couple little plastic animal friends for fun! *Only thing to note: please be more specific on how much water to add in the beginning.

I am so happy with how everything turned out. It really looks better than I ever expected. The growth has been incredibly fast over the last few weeks. It is honestly fun to watch it get bigger every single day. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you have the chance.

I had fun setting this up. Plants arrived in perfect condition. So far so good - it’s been about a week since I put it together. The lid light is a great feature, and everything you need is included - except the tool kit, which is helpful especially manipulating things in the tall orb.

I love the kit. This was my first experience and it was so easy and fun. I had a few pieces of drift wood that just fit in perfectly. I am ready to do another one. Thank you so much for the kit and easy to follow directions. I love the mister and the quality tools. I highly recommend this kit.

I didn’t use all of the soil but really liked putting the whole thing together. I do wish I would have waited until the larger one was in stock.

Customer photo review of Light Up Terrarium Kit

Due to the too much soil issue, I'm kinda unhappy with the experience. I'd appreciate it if someone could reach out to me to let me know if I can get new plants if they die or something when I try to remove the extra soil. Outside of that, I love it.

I was away when the terrarium arrived. My neighbor kindly put the plants on a plate with water, and they are doing well. The moss is dry and brown. It just seemed to darken up the scene, so I used some light colored gravel instead.

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!

It took awhile to get the product, I wish someone would have reached out and explained that they where running late and it was still coming. I thought after 3 weeks of hearing nothing I had gotten scammed. But other than that I do love everything I received.
