Bell Jar Terrarium
Elegant by design, alive by nature. This classic bell jar terrarium houses a tall, reaching variegated Syngonium as its showpiece — its arrow-shaped leaves climbing upward beneath the glass dome, framed by vivid red Fittonia and soft cushion moss at its base. Layered dark substrate and a natural pebble tray complete the look.
The closed dome creates a self-sustaining microclimate — humid, lush, and largely self-watering. Place it on a dining table, sideboard, or shelf and let it do the rest.
Hand-planted individually — each one carries its own subtle character in leaf shape, planting, and moss coverage.
What's inside:
- Variegated Syngonium (Syngonium podophyllum)
- Red Fittonia (Fittonia albivenis)
- Cushion moss
- Layered dark substrate & activated charcoal
- Natural pebble base tray
🌿 Care Guide — Closed Terrarium
Light: Bright, indirect light. Never in direct sun — the glass dome amplifies heat and will stress the plants. A well-lit shelf or north/east-facing windowsill is ideal.
Watering: Rarely needed. The closed dome recycles its own moisture through condensation. Light fogging on the glass each morning is a healthy sign. If the glass stays completely clear for several days, add a small splash of water (20–30ml) around the base and replace the dome.
Ventilation: If condensation is heavy and blocks your view for more than a day, lift the dome for a few hours then replace.
Temperature: 18–26°C. Keep away from heaters, air conditioning vents, and cold draughts. The Syngonium loves warmth and humidity — the dome provides both naturally.
Feeding: Quarter-strength liquid fertiliser once every 2–3 months in spring and summer only. Avoid overfeeding — the Syngonium will outgrow the dome quickly.
Pruning: Trim the Syngonium if it grows too tall for the dome. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves promptly to keep the ecosystem healthy.
