The history of terrariums: the Wardian case

Why Do We Call It Both a Terrarium and a Wardian Case?

Our Gothic-style terrarium is inspired by the iconic Wardian cases of the 19th century, known for their historical importance and distinctive architectural details.

The term "terrarium" emphasizes the self-contained environment that supports the growth of tropical plants, while "Wardian case" represents the preservation and protection of rare plant species. By merging these elements, we create a product that combines Gothic elegance with modern practicality, ideal for cultivating and displaying your plants.

  • What plants grow best in a Classic Victorian-style Terrarium?

    Plant Selection

    Which Plants Thrive in a Gothic-style Terrarium?

    Gothic-style terrariums are ideal for tropical plants like ferns, mosses, and orchids, as they provide the high humidity and indirect light these plants need. Succulents also do well in terrariums with good ventilation, making them suitable for open-top designs.

    Can Houseplants Be Grown in a Terrarium?

    Absolutely, houseplants such as peperomias and small ferns are great for terrariums. They particularly thrive in open-top terrariums where they benefit from proper airflow and don’t require the high humidity levels needed by tropical plants.

  • Do terrariums need sunlight?

    Terrarium Care

    How Often Should You Water a Gothic-style Terrarium?

    For closed Gothic-style terrariums, water infrequently—generally every few weeks—since the enclosed environment retains moisture. For open terrariums, check the soil regularly and water when it feels dry, typically about once a week.

    Do Terrariums Need Sunlight?

    Yes, Gothic-style terrariums thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause overheating and damage to the plants. Aim for 4 to 6 hours of indirect light each day to keep your plants healthy.

  • Maintenance & Lifespan

    How Long Do Gothic-style Terrariums Last?

    With proper care, Gothic-style terrariums can remain in excellent condition for many years, sometimes even decades. Maintaining the right balance of light, moisture, and plant health is essential to ensure the long-term durability of your terrarium.

    How Do You Prevent Mold in a Terrarium?

What type of plants are best suited for a Gothic-style terrarium?

Gothic-style terrariums are ideal for tropical plants like ferns, mosses, and orchids, which thrive in high humidity and indirect light. They also accommodate succulents well in open-top designs, where good ventilation is essential.

How many plants can you put in a Gothic-style terrarium?

For a Gothic-style terrarium, it's best to start with one or two main plants as focal points and then add smaller plants like mosses or mini ferns to complement them. This approach ensures that each plant has enough space to grow and thrive, while the smaller plants fill in the gaps and enhance the overall aesthetic.

Do terrariums require a lot of maintenance?

Gothic-style terrariums are relatively low-maintenance. They require minimal watering, especially if they are closed, as they retain moisture well. Regularly check for any signs of mold or plant health issues, and ensure they receive bright, indirect light. Periodic ventilation and a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth will help keep the terrarium in excellent condition.

What is the ideal light duration for plants in a terrarium?

Plants in a Gothic-style terrarium thrive with 4 to 6 hours of bright, indirect light each day. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause overheating and damage your plants. This light duration helps maintain healthy growth and keeps the terrarium environment balanced.

What are the best tools for precisely watering plants in a terrarium?

For precise watering in a Gothic-style terrarium, a small watering can with a long, narrow spout, a pipette, or a spray bottle are excellent choices. These tools help you apply water accurately without over-saturating the soil. Additionally, a moisture meter can assist in monitoring soil moisture levels to ensure your plants receive the right amount of water.
