1 | The Drainage Layer – A foundational structure and reservoir for excess water to drain into. Ours will also include an activated charcoal layer and mesh barrier.

2 | The Substrate Layer – The physical and nutritional support for your plants. For healthy plants, you’ll want to choose a tropical substrate mix over a standard potting soil.

3 | The Hardscape – All the cool rocks and branches that mimic the mountainous contours of the natural world. They bring scale and dynamic shape to closed terrariums.

4 | The Closed Terrarium Plants – Choose appropriate plants from the various categories of tropical species and create your vibrant miniature landscape!

5 | Personal Touches – Once the ecosystem is in place, it’s time to create your final scene and add any last highlights. Natural or otherwise (dinosaur figurines count as natural, right?).
