Care Guide

Terrariums


Terrariums are designed to be low maintenance, living systems. With the right placement and gentle care, they will thrive and evolve naturally over time.


🌞 Light


Place your terrarium in bright, indirect light.

Avoid direct sunlight, as it can overheat the glass and damage plants.


💧 Water


Less is more.

Only water when the soil appears dry or when condensation is no longer visible.

Closed terrariums usually need very little water

Use a light mist or a few teaspoons at a time

If the glass looks foggy, it does not need watering.


🌡 Temperature


Terrariums prefer stable indoor temperatures, ideally between 18–25°C.

Avoid placing near:

Heaters or radiators

Air conditioners

Cold drafts or windows with strong sun exposure


🌱 Growth & Maintenance


Trim plants gently if they begin to touch the glass

Remove any yellowing or decaying leaves

Allow the ecosystem to regulate itself

Small changes are natural and part of the process.


🌬 Airing (for closed terrariums)


If heavy condensation persists, open the lid for 1–2 hours and then reseal.

This helps rebalance moisture levels.


🧘‍♂️ A Gentle Reminder


Terrariums thrive with patience.

Observe more, intervene less.


Paludariums


Paludariums are more complex living environments that combine land and water. They require ongoing attention to remain healthy and balanced.


💧 Water & Filtration


Maintain clean, filtered water

Top up water as needed due to evaporation

Avoid overfeeding or overcrowding aquatic elements

Regular observation is key.


🌱 Plant Care


Trim terrestrial and aquatic plants as needed

Remove decaying plant matter promptly

Monitor growth to maintain balance between land and water


🌞 Light


Use appropriate lighting suited to both plants and aquatic life.

Lighting duration should be consistent and not excessive.


🛠 Maintenance & Support


Paludariums benefit from periodic maintenance, including system checks, cleaning, and plant care.

We offer maintenance and aftercare support, including on-site visits where required.

Kokedamas


Kokedamas are living plants wrapped in moss and soil, designed to be simple, tactile, and grounding. With gentle care, they will thrive and evolve naturally.


☀️ Light

Place your kokedama in bright, indirect light.

Avoid direct sunlight, which can dry out the moss and stress the plant.


💧 Water

Kokedamas need regular hydration.

Submerge the moss ball in water for 10–15 minutes

Allow excess water to drain fully before placing it back

Water when the moss feels light or dry to the touch

As a general guide, most kokedamas need watering once or twice a week, depending on temperature and light.


🌡 Temperature

Kokedamas prefer stable indoor temperatures, ideally between 18–25°C.

Keep away from:

Heaters or radiators

Air conditioners

Cold drafts


🌱 Care & Maintenance

Mist the moss occasionally to keep it fresh

Trim yellowing or damaged leaves

Rotate occasionally for even growth


🧘‍♂️ A Gentle Reminder

Kokedamas thrive with consistency, not perfection.

Observe the plant — it will tell you what it needs.
