Teardrop Terrarium , glass terrarium with a hinged store door -- stained glass -- copper or silver color -- eco friendly

Handmade terrarium in copper or silver color with starter kit (can be sold without kit as well).
Perfect for planting mosses or other plants that like humid environments.

Ever since I can remember my mother has cultivated a little moss garden, which we used to decorate the house during different times of the year. Unfortunately since I left home I have always lived in small apartments. With no outside space to satisfy my green urges, I began to create terrariums to bring the green inside.

This teardrop terrarium is modified so that is is entirely enclosed, with a hinged door to get inside. By keeping the door closed it creates a micro-environment, and within a few days it will feel slightly humid inside the glass. This terrarium has a versatile shape, allowing you to hang it up or sit it anywhere you like. It will arrive as a store kit, with almost all the supplies you need to get started. Inside the terrarium is a muslin pouch with pebbles, activated charcoal, rubber feet (if you want to use it on a surface rather than hanging) and a few suggestions for how to get your terrarium started. If you want to plant moss inside you will also find some tips on moss foraging. Besides moss, this is a great style for any humidity loving plants.

This terrarium comes in silver or with a copper patina, so please let me know your preference when ordering (see photos for color options).

This terrariums is also available without a kit for $90. Please contact me for details.
