How to Use — 5 Simple Steps

STEP 1: Unbox & Inspect (2 minutes)

Remove everything carefully. Verify all items match the list above. Arrange components on a clean, flat surface before starting.

STEP 2: Layer Your Base (5 minutes)

Pour volcanic rock into the bottom (¾ inch). This is your drainage layer—essential. Add growth medium (pre-measured) on top. Smooth gently with the included rake. You're creating the perfect root home.

STEP 3: Position Your Living Plants (8 minutes)

Gently remove each succulent from its pot. Loosen the roots slightly. Position them at different heights inside the terrarium. Stagger them for visual depth. Use tweezers to adjust soil around each base.

STEP 4: Finishing Touches (5 minutes)

Sprinkle decorative pebbles around the base of each plant. This looks premium and helps retain moisture. Step back. Take your first photo. This is your accomplishment.

STEP 5: First Watering & Placement (2 minutes)

Water lightly—just enough to dampen the soil. (Over-watering is the #1 terrarium killer.) Place in indirect sunlight (east or west window, not full southern exposure). Water once per week. Watch it thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I customize the plant species in my kit?

A: The standard kit ships with a curated mix, but custom requests are available via email. Turnaround: 2–3 business days.

Q: What if my plants arrive dead or damaged?

A: We guarantee healthy arrival. If you receive a damaged plant, email us photos within 48 hours. We'll send a replacement or provide a full refund. No questions asked.

Q: Can I use tap water, or does it need to be filtered?

A: Tap water is fine for most regions. If you live in a high-mineral area (hard water), distilled is gentler, but not required.

A: Absolutely. Arrives ready-to-gift. Include a personalized care card (we can add one for +$2). Many customers gift multiple kits as a set.

Q: What if I kill the plants? Can I refill?

A: Yes. Our Succulent Refill Pack (3 plants + fresh medium) is $15.99. No guilt—just refresh and try again. We even offer a "Plant Parent Survival Pack" with extended watering tips.

Q: Does this kit fit standard shelving?

A: Yes. Max width is 4.1", so it fits any standard bookshelf, windowsill, or desk. Weight is only 1.2 lbs (with plants and soil, ~3 lbs), so no structural concerns.
