This terrarium is very beautiful and well made. It’s large enough to create many layers, and because it’s glass… it looks amazing when you layer substrates. It’s really easy to design something that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing. These pictures were from October, when I first transplanted my Venus flytrap. They tend to take “a little break†when they’re first transplanted, but oh boy! It’s really taken off now and puts a lot of energy into growing new stems. It even attempted to grow a flower (I cut it off, so it would continue to put its energy into getting a bit bigger. I layered small pebbles, a Venus flytrap (marshy) soil, and used some larger basalt rocks and moss to help with water retention. But this terrarium is great on its own… it does an excellent job of keeping the soil moist. I have it tucked away in a sunny spot in my classroom and my students are always coming over to check on it. It’s fun to watch them play little museum docents and explain to other kiddos what’s going on with our Venus flytrap (aka Trap Door Plant, Bug Death Plant, Snapping Door Plant… they come up with all kinds of names for it!). Initially, I was a little skeptical of the price, but it was money well spent. This terrarium is well designed and very stylish. It’s a high class item that is worth the price tag. It just looks nice! And it functions effortlessly. The little vents open smoothly and the light is a great little grow light. I’m especially fond of the timer functionality, since I’m not in my classroom over the weekend or holidays… I just set the timer for the grow light and then forget about it. The light itself doesn’t get overly hot, but it offers enough heat to mildly warm the terrarium (which is ideal for tropical plants). The lid sits perfectly on top of the glass and I find it easy to lift it when I need to add water. I will definitely be purchasing more of these when the need arises. Plus, I’m considering creating some other little terrariums to give away as gifts. Even friends or family who lack a green thumb (like me!) will find growing things in this terrarium foolproof! Don’t settle for similar products. THIS is the one you want!

I wanted a small terrarium that I could grow some carnivorous plants in over the winter. My outdoor flytraps are going into dormancy but this little terrarium is doing great. I have several different cultivars of Venus Fly Traps and some sundews and they love it. I provides a much welcomed view of nature for me when I am working in my office.

The glass quality is fine. Minor distortions and not crystal clear, but good enough, especially for the price.The light seems of good quality and should support good plant growth. I measured between15 and 70 PAR near the bottom of the container through air (across the 4 intensity settings). Interestingly, it reads far higher when filled with water (62 to 310 PAR) - I assume due to the round nature of the container and internal reflection.If you need to run a cord into the container for antyhing (a heater, etc) you will need to make your own modifications to the lid or else it will not sit flat. Minor and easily solved.One fairly painful issue: there is no battery or memory - so if the power goes out, the light stays off until you manually turn the it back on. As far as I can tell, there is not even an 'always on mode' so that you can control it with a separate timer that does have a battery backup. Not a great design decision. If you're out of town and the power flickers, your plants could be in bad shape by the time you get home.

this is my first foray into terrarium-making and I am pleasantly surprised at how well it is going. The plants seem very happy and have grown a lot already. The terrarium is very high quality with sturdy glass and a well-made grow-light built into the lid. I love how I can see the layers of the drainage and soil layers.

Works great as a little piece of green in the middle of my windowless corporate office. The timer (to automatically give the plant X hours of light a day) was a pleasant surprise. The price was fine. What's not to like?

I love the look of this terrarium, and set up my plants. It looked fantastic and the timer worked brilliantly, however, after about two weeks the light began to dim. It continued to get dimmer until I took the lid off to examine it.Moisture from the terrarium had built up inside of it and shorted out or corroded nearly all of the LEDs. Looking at it, the barrier between the LEDs and the inner terrarium is simply a piece of loose plastic that is very easily removed, and thus lets water creep in. I came online to try to reach out and see if I could get replacement light that I could seal with silicone since I do really like the look and function when it works, but unfortunately it doesn't look like this is an option. The customer service for the product is through Amazon and I couldn't find a way to request a replacement light.All told, if you're not housing high moisture plants in the terrarium, it will likely work for you, but be very careful when using it in a high humidity situation.

We love seeing this at our kitchen table at every meal, especially in the long, cold, white winter of Maine. The greenery really cheers us up this time of year!

Let me start by saying this is very small, the photos make it seem larger than what you get. The light is great for growing plants and even with the size I found that cherry shrimp thrived in it.

The terrarium has proven to be an effective environment for the cultivation of sundews. Upon placing a sundew inside and sealing the vent, the plant exhibited remarkable growth.
