What is a moss terrarium?

A moss terrarium is a small living ecosystem enclosed in a glass container that brings together nature, design and relaxation. It combines mosses, stones, wood and decorative elements to create a harmonious micro-environment that needs almost no care. That makes it an ideal decoration for your home or office.

Moss terrarium or florarium? The difference and what you’ll make

  • A florarium is the general name for plants grown in glass; a moss terrarium is its simplest variant – an ecosystem of mosses, stones and wood sealed in a jar.
  • A moss terrarium needs hardly any care: the closed jar keeps its own humidity, it just needs airing and misting now and then. A florarium with tropical plants needs more light and watering.
  • At the ArtTerra workshop you make a moss terrarium (a forest in glass) – and we explain how to turn it into a full florarium with plants over time.
  • Want to try it at home? A step-by-step guide is on the how to make a moss terrarium page.
  • Dates: moss terrarium Prague, moss terrarium Brno and other cities in the ArtTerra calendar; price from 2 390 Kč including materials and a welcome drink.
