Create your own beautiful terrarium from scratch with this quality blend of materials formulated especially for terrarium making.
 
The tried and tested substrates have been carefully developed and used over the years within our own successful terrarium builds, and contain a special blend of ingredients combined to encourage long term success.
 
Ideal for both closed and open terrariums, Ladyfern's very own soil mix ensures a neutral PH delivering available essential nutrients and minerals all within a light and airy mix. Unlike most terrarium blends on the market, our blend is sphagnum and peat moss free, both non-renewable resources we believe should be avoided. The ingredients provide excellent moisture retention and balanced drainage, ideal for encouraging natural processes much like a miniature ecosystem.
 
In this kit you will receive enough substrates to create a medium sized terrarium around 20cm in diameter or a few smaller terrariums. This kit does not include the glass so it’s perfect if you already have a glass jar or vase ready to be transformed into a stunning living art piece.
 
We’ve measured this kit with a classic glass fishbowl design in mind, however you can get creative and make a terrarium in almost any shaped container! 
 
All our kits are handmade in small batches and arrive thoughtfully put together with eco-friendly packaging so it not only looks cute but won’t hurt the environment.
