Care Instructions

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Terrariums!

Hey there, green thumbs and aspiring botanists! Thanks for choosing to bring a piece of the great outdoors into your home with our moss and fern terrariums. Now that you have your little ecosystem, you might be wondering how to keep it lush and happy. Don't worry; we've got you covered with this simple guide. 🌿

Let There Be Light—but Not Too Much!

First up is lighting. Moss and ferns are fans of indirect light, which means you shouldn't place your terrarium in direct sunlight. A spot near a north-facing window or under a table with filtered light will keep your mini-garden in its comfort zone. Remember, too much light will scorch your plants, while too little will make them leggy and sad.

The Ideal "Climate" Zone

Temperature matters a lot. Moss and ferns are most comfortable in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (or 18°C to 24°C). Below or above these temperatures, your plants might start feeling the stress. So make sure your terrarium isn't too close to radiators, air conditioners, or other heat sources.

Mist Opportunities

Let's talk moisture! Your terrarium is like a little rainforest, so it loves humidity. A light misting once or twice a week should keep it in paradise conditions. But don't go overboard! Over-hydrating can lead to mold and root rot. A fine spray bottle works best for this job. Aim to keep the humidity level between 50% and 70% for optimal growth.

Outside Moisture

While we're on the subject of moisture, let's talk about the world outside your terrarium. Keep your mini-ecosystem away from places where it might get extra moisture or drafts, like bathrooms or kitchens. Inconsistent environments can throw off your terrarium's mojo, and we don't want that!

Final Tips and Tricks

It's easy to worry when you're taking care of such delicate beings, but remember, plants have been around for a lot longer than we have! With the right love and attention, your moss and fern terrarium will flourish. Check the soil with your finger before misting, rotate the terrarium every now and then for even growth, and keep an eye out for changes in color or shape as signs of how your mini-forest is feeling.

And there you have it, your simple guide to terrarium care! If you follow these tips, your moss and ferns will be the talk of Plant Town. Happy gardening! 🌱💚
