Terrarium Care Instructions

How to Care for Your Jungle Terrarium

• Skip watering for the first week. Your terrarium will usually arrive slightly moist.
• Water only when the soil or moss feels dry. Let the terrarium dry slightly between waterings (about 1–2 times per month).
• Light: Use a grow light (preferred) or place in bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Do not mist. Instead, pour water directly into the bottom tray. Do not overflow the container.
•  A small amount of residual water is fine, but the terrarium should not stay overly wet.
• Use filtered water mixed with diluted fertilizer. A simple ratio is 1 part fertilizer to 3 parts water.
• Remove dead leaves or plant matter to prevent mold from developing.
• Avoid getting wood and plant surfaces wet, as they are sensitive to standing water.
• Trim plants occasionally to keep the terrarium compact and healthy.
• Do not allow the terrarium to completely dry out. If you’ll be away for a while, add a little extra water beforehand.
