The Pear Planted Terrarium is a generous closed terrarium with a distinctive pear-shaped glass vessel and cork lid. Individually planted with a changing selection of small tropical plants, each one creates its own miniature living landscape and will vary slightly in appearance. At approximately 30cm high and 26cm wide, the Pear Terrarium has enough scale to make a beautiful statement on a sideboard, console, large shelf or table while remaining easy to care for once its moisture balance is established. How Does a Closed Terrarium Work? Once sealed, moisture circulates between the compost, plants and glass, creating a naturally humid miniature growing environment. A well-balanced closed terrarium therefore requires very little additional watering. Where to Position Your Terrarium Place in bright, indirect light and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight. Strong sun can quickly raise the temperature inside the glass and damage the plants. Keep away from radiators and other strong heat sources, and avoid very dark positions. A bright room with plenty of natural light but no intense direct sun is ideal. How to Water a Closed Terrarium A closed terrarium should need very little watering. Light condensation on part of the glass is normal and indicates that moisture is circulating within the terrarium. If there has been little or no condensation for several days and the compost appears dry, remove the cork and add only a small amount of water using a fine mister. Water sparingly: it is much easier to add a little more later than to correct an overwatered terrarium. What If There Is Too Much Condensation? If the glass remains heavily misted or covered with large droplets throughout the day, remove the cork for a few hours to allow excess moisture to escape. Replace the lid once the condensation has reduced. Occasional light condensation is completely normal and does not need to be wiped away.
