How to make the best terrarium with plants? Your eternal garden.

This will be a quick guide on how to assemble a beautiful eternal garden. A closed ecosystem that is capable of thriving without the need for regular watering. This is possible because it creates a perfect microclimate inside for the plants' development.

To make a terrarium with plants, you will need the following components:

A glass jar. We recommend a tall one, between 25 and 35 cm in height.

Volcanic gravel. (Approximately 1 kg)

Activated charcoal. (70-100 g)

A fine mesh as a filter.

Premium universal substrate.

Natural moss.

A branch or root. We use olive roots treated with Carnauba vegetable wax oil.

Fishing line as thin as possible.

BOREEN air plants.

A cover for the terrarium. Preferably with LED light specifically for plant growth.

If you purchase our Eternal Garden Kit, you will have everything you need to start assembling your plant terrarium. This process is an immersive experience that you will love. With our kit, it will be very easy for you to do and will take you only a short amount of time (approximately 30 minutes).

Let's go!

Step 1. Clean the vase with soap and water. I won't explain how to do it here. Just make sure to do it carefully to avoid it breaking, because even though our terrariums are of the highest quality, they are large glass pieces and a blow could damage them.

Step 2. Place the volcanic stones at the bottom of the terrarium. The kit includes 2 tubes of volcanic stones. Use your hand to prevent the stones from falling forcefully onto the bottom.

Once you have introduced the two tubes of stones, distribute them evenly across the entire surface.

Step 3. We will put the fine mesh to prevent the substrate from falling to the bottom of the terrarium. This mesh is slightly larger than the diameter of the terrarium. I will explain why in the next step.

Step 4. We will evenly spread the substrate over the mesh. This will seal it and prevent the soil from seeping down. Since the mesh remains above, it will prevent gaps between the substrate and the volcanic rocks. We will put approximately 1-2 cm of substrate. There is no need to use more, as moss requires very little soil to thrive.

Step 5. We will place the natural moss. It doesn't matter if you need to separate the different sections of moss. Since these are non-vascular plants, you can separate them without fear of damaging them. Arrange them like a puzzle in the way you prefer.

Step 6. Water the entire set with filtered, rain, distilled, or weakly mineralized bottled water. Add water gradually until you see that approximately 5 mm of water remains at the bottom.

Step 7. Insert the olive root with its air plants inside the terrarium and attach the end of the fishing line to the LED-lit lid.

And there you have it! You have created a garden in a bowl.

If your terrarium doesn't have a lid, you can make one with cork or a small glass plate that fits the diameter of the terrarium opening. Tie the fishing line to the olive root. You can also use a hot glue gun to make the job easier. You can find one at any hardware store, and they are very affordable. Once you have the fishing line secured to the root, you can attach the other end to the terrarium lid. This way, once it's in place, the root with the air plants will be suspended inside the eternal garden.
