- Placement -

Place your terrarium in a cool spot that doesn’t receive direct sunlight. Terrariums in strong sun can overheat, so place them in a temperate location.

- Watering -

Terrariums do not necessarily require weekly watering. In fact, over watering can be more of a problem, causing algae growth, etc. A good rule of thumb is if you notice your mosses and plants looking a bit wilted, or dry to touch, it’s time to give your ecosystem some rain! A good spray down with dechlorinated water (boiled for 15min, rain water, filtered) irregularly should be more then enough to keep everyone happy.

Terrariums may require a bit more trial and error to work out a maintenance schedule - but don’t worry! They’re incredibly forgiving. If you over water, just pop that lid off for a day or so to let the moisture evaporate.

- Condensation -

Terrarium’s are their own ecosystem and retain constant moisture unlike typical house plants. Condensation can be a regular occurrence because of this and is usually not an issue. However, if you notice constant and excessive condensation, this may be a sign to take your lid off your terrarium for a bit (around a day), as there may be too much moisture inside.

- Springtails -

You may be alarmed to see small, white bugs in your terrarium. But don’t stress! These are actually your friends - Springtails! These bugs are your jar’s janitors. They live to consume anything decaying, mould, and fungus - which is super useful! So next time you see one, tell them they’re doing a good job.

- Troubleshooting Mould -

Unfortunately, sometimes mould may appear in your terrarium. In more mature systems, this should become less of an issue and resolve itself. However, a nice damp jar can be the perfect spot for mould to show up. Your springtails will do their best to consume any, but it’s good to remove it if you see any patches.

Mould loves - heat, moisture and stagnant air. The first step to dealing with mould is taking your lid off for a period to allow fo better airflow and evaporation of excess moisture. It is advised to manually remove mould as well. The most effective method is dabbing a small amount of hydrogen peroxide 3% onto the affected area and gently scraping the mould away. If you don’t have access to hydrogen peroxide, physically scraping the mould off and taking it out of the terrarium will also help.

- Fungus and Mushrooms -

These are a sign of a healthy terrarium. You can leave them be, and they will disappear on their own.

-General Care-

Your terrarium should be self sustaining after it has had time to mature and settle in. You may need to trim plants if you feel they’re growing too dense and tall, but otherwise, enjoy your terrarium!

- Position -

Place kokedama in a cool spot with indirect light. Do not place directly in sun.

- Watering -

Fill a bowl halfway with water. Place your kokedama to soak for 15min to 30min weekly. If you have a live moss kokedama, do twice a week in addition to regular sprayings. Do not let the moss dry out.

Gently squeeze your kokedama to remove excess water, then place back on display.

- Fertilising -

All kokedamas come with slow-release fertilizers that will work for up to 12 months minimum. After this period, if fertilisation is required, use liquid fertiliser to feed your plant.
