The history of terrariums: the Wardian case

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

Our Victorian-style terrarium is inspired by the classic 19th-century Wardian cases, celebrated for their historical significance and architectural design.

"Terrarium" highlights the self-contained environment ideal for tropical plants, while "Wardian case" symbolizes the protection of rare species. By blending these legacies, we offer a product that combines timeless elegance with modern functionality, perfect for growing and showcasing your plants.

Terrarium Essentials: Plant Care, Maintenance, and Longevity

Plant Selection
Which Plants Are Best Suited for a Victorian-style Terrarium?

Tropical plants like ferns, mosses, and orchids flourish in a Victorian-style terrarium due to their preference for high humidity and indirect light. Open terrariums are also perfect for succulents, which thrive in well-ventilated environments.

Can Houseplants Be Grown in a Terrarium?

Yes, certain houseplants, such as peperomias and small ferns, are excellent choices for terrariums, particularly in open-top designs where they benefit from good airflow and do not require the high humidity levels typically needed for tropical plants.
Terrarium Care
How Often Should You Water a Victorian-style Terrarium?

In closed Victorian-style terrariums, watering is minimal—typically every few weeks, as the sealed environment retains moisture. For open terrariums, check the soil regularly and water when it feels dry to the touch, usually about once a week.

Do Terrariums Need Sunlight?

Yes, terrariums thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause overheating and harm the plants. Aim for 4 to 6 hours of indirect light each day to keep your terrarium plants healthy.
Maintenance & Lifespan
How Long Do Victorian-style Terrariums Last?

With proper care, Victorian-style terrariums can last for many years—often even decades. Ensuring the right balance of light, moisture, and plant health is crucial for maintaining the longevity of your terrarium.

How Do You Prevent Mold in a Terrarium?

Preventing mold in a terrarium requires good airflow and careful humidity control. Make sure to ventilate your terrarium periodically, and consider using activated charcoal to absorb excess moisture and help maintain a healthy environment for your plants.

FAQ

Have Questions About Our Victorian-style Terrarium? We're Here to Help.

Are tropical plants suitable for closed terrariums?

Yes, tropical plants thrive in closed terrariums due to the high humidity and stable temperatures, which mimic their natural environment.

Can you place pots in a terrarium without using a gravel base?

Yes, you can place pots directly in a terrarium, but using a gravel base helps with drainage and prevents excess water buildup, which can lead to root rot.

Can a terrarium survive without natural light?

Yes, a terrarium can survive with artificial light, such as grow lights, as long as it provides the right spectrum and intensity. However, natural light is often preferable for optimal plant growth.

What are the signs that it's time to water a terrarium?

Signs include dry or shrinking soil, wilting plants, or a noticeable lack of condensation on the walls in a closed terrarium. Check the soil and water when it feels dry to the touch.

Can carnivorous plants be grown in a terrarium?

Yes, carnivorous plants can thrive in terrariums, especially in humid, well-lit environments. However, they often prefer open terrariums for better airflow and to avoid excess moisture buildup. We recommend opening the rear roof panel of our terrarium to increase air circulation and maintain a healthier environment for these plants.
