A sealed bioactive terrarium we just wrapped up for a customer. These environments are planted heavily with cuttings taken from our display terrariums and mother plants. They take time to establish and grow in so we encourage people to come back for additional cuttings during this process and replace any dieoff with fresh plants. Once the system stabilizes there is no maintenance aside from maybe the occasional trim. This smaller build was $75 (vessel not included.) . . . .... . . . #terrarium #bioactive #vivarium #plants #houseplants #indoorjungle #terrariumdesign #plantaddict #tropicalplants #indoorplants #smallbusiness #shoplocal #custom #toronto #torontodesign #interiordesign #design #plantshop #plantstore #oddityshop #curiosityshop @ Toronto, Ontario See more

A quick update regarding our website: we have run into a technical issue and are currently unable to update the availability. Fortunately we are about to launch a full webstore with click to buy functionality, and so we opted to hold out for the new site to be finished rather than fix the current one. Wed like to thank our customers for their patience while we get this sorted out, and look forward to serving you more efficiently soon- when we finally do away with our tiresom...e DM to purchase policy. - Pictured: Microsorum Musifolium or Crocodile Fern is a relative of the commonly kept aquatic Java Fern.
