Keramzit or Clayballs
A proper terrarium starts with drainage. Keramzit clay balls create a stable base layer that prevents root rot and waterlogging—one of the most common reasons terrariums fail.

Creates a drainage reservoir that separates excess water from roots

Lightweight, durable, and won’t break down over time

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Placement
- Keep in bright, indirect light.
- Avoid direct sunlight—it can overheat the terrarium.
- If placed in a dark area, use a grow light (6000K LED) for support.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 15-29°C (59-84°F).
- Terrariums can tolerate some fluctuations, but avoid placing them in extreme heat or freezing temperatures.
- Keep away from heaters, radiators, or air-conditioning vents to prevent sudden temperature changes.
Watering
- Closed terrariums only need watering once a year.
- If soil appears dry or moss feels crispy, lightly mist with distilled water.
- Avoid overwatering—condensation on the glass usually means it has enough moisture.
Optional
- Pruning: Trim overgrown plants to keep the terrarium tidy.
- Dead Leaves: Remove immediately to prevent mold.
