Oblate Globe Terrarium
The Oblate Globe Terrarium is a low, rounded glass terrarium with a wide, gently flattened form. Planted by hand, it creates a calm, self-contained landscape that feels natural, considered and quietly decorative.
Its broad shape gives the planting more space to spread, creating a softer, more open composition compared to taller terrariums. It’s ideal for shelves, tables or anywhere you want a grounded, sculptural piece of greenery.
Terrariums are perfect for busy plant lovers or those with limited space. Once sealed, the Oblate Globe requires very little ongoing care. Keep it positioned out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as radiators or fires to maintain a stable internal environment.
If watering is needed, remove the lid and lightly mist the plants using a spray bottle. This is only required if the terrarium begins to look dry. If condensation regularly builds up on the glass, the humidity may be too high — simply remove the lid for a short period to allow excess moisture to escape.
Each Oblate Globe Terrarium is planted by hand, creating a unique miniature landscape. The selection and arrangement of plants will vary from piece to piece, making every terrarium individual.
Size: 23cm wide, 23cm tall
Please note: Plant varieties and layout will vary between each Oblate Globe Terrarium.

Care Instructions
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Do not place in direct sunlight as this can scorch the plants and also create too high a temperature inside the vessel.
Water
Terrariums rarely require watering if kept sealed. If the soil looks dry, mist water in to the vessel. Pouring water can cause a muddy splash!
Food
Generally, the plants inside a terrarium do not need fed as this can cause them to quickly outgrow the space.
Humidity
If condensation appears on the glass remove the cork until this clears. Too much water in the tearrium will cause the plants to rot.
