Live Plants & Moss
Will my plant look exactly like the photograph?
Not necessarily.
Plants are living organisms and naturally vary in size, shape, color, and growth pattern. Product photos are intended as reference images.
Is slight wilting after delivery normal?
Yes.
Plants may experience minor transit stress, especially during extreme weather conditions. Most plants recover after acclimatization and proper care.
How should I care for newly arrived plants?
Unpack them promptly, provide appropriate light and humidity, and allow a few days for acclimatization before making major changes.
Do you guarantee live arrival?
We carefully pack all plants and moss for transit. If a plant arrives severely damaged, please contact us within 24 hours with photographs and an unboxing video.
Terrariums
What is a terrarium?
A terrarium is a miniature ecosystem created inside a glass container using plants, substrate, moss, and decorative elements.
Are terrariums difficult to maintain?
Not at all. Most terrariums require minimal maintenance and occasional watering, depending on the type of setup.
How often should I water my terrarium?
This depends on whether it is open or closed. Closed terrariums may only require watering occasionally, while open terrariums generally require more frequent attention.
Can I keep a terrarium in direct sunlight?
No.
Direct sunlight can overheat the enclosure and damage plants. Bright, indirect light is usually ideal.
Paludariums & Vivariums
What is a paludarium?
A paludarium combines both land and water environments in a single enclosure, creating a miniature ecosystem.
What is a vivarium?
A vivarium is an enclosed environment designed to support plants and, in some cases, animals in a controlled habitat.
Do I need special equipment for a paludarium?
Most paludariums require lighting, filtration, water circulation, and suitable hardscape materials.
DIY Kits
Are your DIY Terrarium Kits beginner-friendly?
Absolutely.
Our DIY kits are designed for beginners and include materials and instructions needed to build a terrarium at home.
Are plants included in the kits?
This varies by kit. Please check the individual product description for details.
Is the terrarium already assembled?
No.
DIY kits are intended for customers who wish to create their own terrarium experience.
Hardscape & Aquascaping Supplies
Can driftwood and rocks be used in aquariums?
Most of our hardscape materials are suitable for aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums. Please review product descriptions for specific usage recommendations.
Do I need to clean driftwood before use?
Yes.
We recommend rinsing driftwood before use. Some pieces may also benefit from soaking prior to placement in aquariums.
Are natural rocks and wood identical to product photographs?
No.
Because these are natural products, each piece is unique in shape, texture, and appearance.
Custom Projects
Do you create custom terrariums and paludariums?
Yes.
We design custom terrariums, paludariums, vivariums, aquascapes, and planted displays for homes, offices, cafés, retail spaces, and commercial projects.

You can contact us through our website, WhatsApp, email, or social media channels with your requirements.
Do you offer installation services?
Installation services may be available depending on project size and location. Please contact us for details.
Returns & Refunds

What is required for a damage claim?
A complete unboxing video and photographs must be submitted within 24 hours of delivery.
How long do refunds take?
