Our Selection of Glass Terrariums for All Styles

Our collection has been designed to adapt to all decorative universes, from the most Scandinavian to the most bohemian. Each glass terrarium is chosen for the quality of its material, the finesse of its finishes, and its creative potential.

Geometric and Design Terrariums

For a contemporary and graphic ambiance, our terrariums with geometric shapes (cubes, pyramids, dodecahedrons) are sculptural pieces. Their transparent glass highlights the structure and colors of the plants, creating a striking contrast with the foliage. Perfect for a desk, a shelf, or a modern coffee table.

Bell Jar and Glass Globe Terrariums

Timeless and romantic, bell jar terrariums or glass globes evoke a secret garden. The jar creates an ideal microclimate for plants that love humidity, such as mosses and ferns. These models, often accompanied by a wooden or metal base, add a note of vintage elegance to your living room or entryway.

Open and Landscape Terrariums

Ideal for cacti and succulents that prefer dry air, open terrariums (in bowls, rectangular aquariums) offer a free canvas for your imagination. You can create true miniature landscapes with different substrate levels, stones, and figurines. Explore our large formats to create a complex and captivating ecosystem.

How to Choose and Compose Your Terrarium?

The success of your glass terrarium depends on the choice of plants and proper preparation. Here are our essential tips for a flourishing miniature garden.

• Choosing plants: For closed terrariums (under a bell jar), favor tropical plants that love humidity: mosses (sphagnum), ferns (pteris), fittonia. For open terrariums, turn to succulents (echeveria, crassula) and cacti, which require little water.
• Substrate layers: A drainage base (clay pebbles or gravel) is crucial to prevent root rot. Then add a layer of activated charcoal to purify the ecosystem, followed by specialized soil (cactus soil or light potting mix).
• Maintenance: A closed terrarium requires very little watering (a few drops when condensation disappears). For an open terrarium, water succulents moderately only when the soil is completely dry. Place your composition in bright light but without direct sunlight.
• Decoration: Let your creativity run free with mineral elements (white pebbles, colored sand), pieces of driftwood or bark, and perhaps small figurines to create a narrative scene.

The Decorative and Well-being Benefits of a Terrarium

Beyond its aesthetic aspect, a glass terrarium offers real benefits for your interior and your well-being. It is a living decor object that evolves over time, bringing a unique dynamic to your space. Its presence contributes to a natural and refined decor, in line with current interior decoration trends. Furthermore, the plants it houses help purify the ambient air by absorbing certain pollutants and releasing oxygen. Observing this vegetal micro-world is a soothing activity, recognized for reducing stress and improving concentration. It is an ideal and customizable gift for an event or for yourself.

Where to Place Your Terrarium in the House?

Location is key for the health of your plants and visual impact. An open terrarium with succulents will find its place on a well-lit windowsill (facing East or West). A large rectangular terrarium can become the spectacular centerpiece of your dining table. Bell jar terrariums, more fragile, will thrive on a console table, a bookshelf, or a mantelpiece, protected from direct shocks but in a bright room. Fall for several models of different sizes to create a beautiful vegetal display on a shelf.
