Terrarium - The Petite

The Petite

Your own miniature world in the palm of your hand. The Petite is a perfectly contained living ecosystem that brings nature to your desk, bedside table, or anywhere you need a moment of green calm. Despite its compact size, this is a complete, self-sustaining landscape featuring carefully selected plants that thrive together in this glass environment.

This is living art that practically cares for itself. The closed glass environment creates its own humidity cycle, meaning these plants need watering maybe once a month, sometimes less. The Petite features a thoughtfully layered substrate—drainage stones, activated charcoal to keep things fresh, and quality soil—topped with moss and miniature plants that create the illusion of a lush forest floor. As the plants grow and fill in, your terrarium becomes even more beautiful, evolving into something completely unique to you.

The Premium Details:

Your terrarium arrives in quality clear glass that lets you appreciate the landscape from every angle. We've hand-selected plants that are naturally suited to terrarium life—they like humidity, tolerate low light, and stay compact. Each layer is carefully placed to create both visual interest and proper drainage, and we finish with decorative elements that complete the miniature landscape.

Dimensions: Approximately 12cm (H) x 10cm (W)

New to Terrariums? We've Got You Covered:

Terrariums are genuinely low-maintenance. The glass creates a self-regulating environment where moisture recycles itself. You'll water sparingly—when the glass stays clear without any condensation for several days, add a small amount of water. That's it. They're happy in bright, indirect light (never direct sun, which overheats the glass).

When we deliver (free anywhere on Waiheke), we'll show you the perfect spot for it and explain the simple care routine. You'll get a care guide, and you're covered by our 30-day health guarantee.

This is living art that requires almost zero maintenance. The Petite makes a perfect gift, a desk companion, or an entry into the world of terrariums. It's also brilliant for small spaces—you get the impact of greenery without using precious surface area. As it matures and the plants fill in, it becomes even more beautiful, creating a miniature landscape that's endlessly fascinating to observe.
