Frequently asked questions

WHERE SHOULD I LEAVE MY DISPLAY CASE ONCE PLANTED?

Leave your display case near a stable source of bright, indirect light. The plants inside grow best in indoor spaces where the temperature is stable and accompanied by a grow light that provides consistent light.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I ADD WATER?

It all depends on the conditions inside. You will be able to see how much water is inside from the amount of condensation on the glass. If the soil is dark brown/black and the glass is constantly covered in water droplets you should remove the lid to release excess water. If there is rarely water on the glass and the soil is light brown or starting to pull away from the glass you should add water sparingly from a spray bottle.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I OVERWATER THE PLANTS INSIDE?

Adding too much water can lead to root rot and encourage mould growth. If your display case has sodden soil and excessive condensation on the glass leave the lid off until enough water has escaped.

WHAT KIND OF PLANTS CAN I PUT INSIDE?

It depends on the size of your model but you should be using houseplants that are native to the tropics and sub-tropics. The best plants for a smaller model are those that do not grow too large such as fittonias, hypoestes, ferns, pileas, peperomias, ficus and mosses.

CAN I LEAVE THE LID OFF?

You can leave the lid off but it will then need to be watered more regularly like you would do with a potted houseplant.
