'Gotham' with Grow Light

I'd been waiting for a while I was happy to see this finally back in stock. The kit was dispatched quickly and arrived in time for Easter weekend. Creating the terrarium was fairly easy with the help of the online video, and I'm please with the result. Brightens up a space that would be too dark for normal house plants.

It’s a hit!

Purchased a large terrarium with plants, soils and gravels. It arrived well packaged and protected. The kids and I loved the setting up process and have kept a close eye on the settling in - removing/not removing the lid to aid moisture balance is a hot topic. Even the “not interested” member of the household appears keen.

I’m very happy with it

I bought it as a gift for my husband and we’re both very happy with it. Great quality materials and good variety of plants. It was delivered on the date I chose and was well packaged. It took him about two weeks to put the terrarium together and the plants were still very healthy after that time! It is looking lovely now. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase :)

Terrarium beginners

Decided to have a go at making our own terrarium and after lots of research / ordered a couple of plants direct from tropical glass and then my husband ordered some LED corks from this company (via Amazon shop) . I was very pleased with the quality and health of the plants (asparagus fern and ficus ginseng) - they were both a lush, vibrant green and very healthy. The addition of the cork leds has transformed the visual impact of them as it was hard to define each individual plant within it - just looked like a mass of foliage and quite dark and dingy.
All were despatched timely and packed very well to ensure no damage , Have supplied a before and after snap !

Absolutely thrilled!

I'm absolutely thrilled with my recent purchase of the 26cm closed terrarium container from Tropical Glass! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic.
The packaging was incredibly well done, ensuring the delicate glass arrived in perfect condition. I was also thoroughly impressed with the speed of delivery; it arrived much quicker than I expected. What really stood out was the constant communication—I received progress updates every step of the way, which was incredibly reassuring.
The terrarium itself is exactly what I was hoping for. The quality is superb, and it's the perfect size for creating a lush, miniature ecosystem. Tropical Glass has clearly put a lot of thought into their product and their customer service. I highly recommend them if you're looking for top-notch terrarium supplies!

Lush Christmas gift

I've wanted one of these for ages and was very happy to receive one for Christmas. Easyish to assemble although a little fiddly. Really enjoyed assembling it and I'd love to do another one. Can the LED Cork lids by purchased separately?

Hi Elle,

Happy terrarium growing!

Highly Recommended

Great service and plants arrived in excellent condition. Creating the "garden" was great fun and I found the tools really useful. Instructions and illustrations make it easy to follow. One of the plants I ordered was substituted and Katie wrote a hand written note explaining why. I think her substitute probably works better than the plant I had ordered so thank you Katie!
