Terrarium - The Classic

The Classic

The Classic terrarium gives you enough space to create a genuinely captivating miniature landscape—multiple plant varieties, interesting elevation changes, and room for decorative elements that tell a story. This size is one of our most popular because it delivers serious visual impact while still fitting comfortably on a desk, shelf, or side table.

Here's what The Classic offers: we layer in 3-4 different plant varieties that work together to create depth and interest. You might see delicate ferns alongside compact tropical plants, tiny ground covers spreading across the moss, and something with interesting texture or colour as a focal point. The larger glass vessel means we can create more dramatic topography—hills, valleys, and layers that make this feel like a real landscape you could step into. As the plants grow together, they create an increasingly lush miniature ecosystem.

The Premium Details:

Your terrarium arrives in a quality glass vessel with clean lines that showcase the landscape inside. We use the same premium substrate layering—drainage, activated charcoal, quality soil—but with more depth to support a diverse plant community. Each element is placed with intention to create visual flow and ensure every plant has what it needs to thrive.

Dimensions: Approximately 18cm (H) x 15cm (W)

New to Terrariums? We've Got You Covered:

The Classic is still wonderfully low-maintenance. Water sparingly—maybe once every 3-4 weeks, or when the glass stays completely clear without condensation. The larger size actually makes it more forgiving because it holds humidity longer. Bright, indirect light keeps everything happy.

When we deliver (free anywhere on Waiheke), we'll walk you through the simple care routine and help you find the ideal spot. You'll get a care guide, and you're covered by our 30-day health guarantee.

Pricing: $65

The Classic hits that perfect balance—substantial enough to make a real impact, compact enough to fit anywhere. It's large enough to appreciate the individual plants and watch how they interact and grow together over time. This size makes a memorable gift and creates a genuine focal point without overwhelming your space. As it matures, it becomes increasingly intricate and beautiful—a living piece that rewards close observation.
