## Description

Create your own unique terrariums from glass or containers you already have at home. This quick start kit includes a guide to help you get started and the materials needed to make healthy environments for small plants that you add yourself. Make an adventure out of it and find seedlings in your local community, or buy air plants or succulents to create an easy-to-care-for a terrarium. This starter kit can make up to 12 small 8 oz. glass terrariums, 7 pint-sized mason Jar terrariums, or 2-3 large terrariums.

Review: As you can see, I’ve already started using my kit - I ordered the medium kit, and have enjoyed it so far. I still have quite a bit of the supplies remaining, and there is definitely a generous amount of both moss and vermiculite provided, as well as some soil, larger smooth gravel, and some soil. Also included is a spray bottle of plant food and a chopstick for placing/“poking” inside your terrarium. That chopstick definitely came in handy! The container in my photo is about 5 inches across the bottom; I prepared it with a generous layer of moss over some vermiculite and gravel, and have more than two thirds of my moss left in my kit. There seems to be one primary type of moss included, with smaller amounts of others. Mine even included a small stick with a bit of lichen in it! I appreciate the three cute little dinosaurs included, too, and together with my air plants, it makes a nice little scene. I appreciate that instructions are included for both air plants and succulents, which are the most common planting’s for small terrariums.
Review: Good to start

Super easy to assemble. The stick and brush came in handy for moving items around in tight places or brush soil off the plants. The tools also made it super easy to assemble. I didn’t think I’d use the dinosaurs but they turned out looking super cute in the terrarium. A good value for money because I have enough of everything left over to make a medium sized terrarium. The plant food was a nice addition, I’ve been using it and the plants appreciate it. Very giftable for a plant beginner or lover in your life. Brings all the foundation they need to build their terrarium.
