Wardian Case Terrarium
A striking fully planted Wardian Case Terrarium set on a solid wooden plinth — a miniature Victorian greenhouse for your home. Inspired by the original Wardian cases used by botanical gardens and plant collectors to transport exotic plants across the world, this piece creates its own self-contained ecosystem beneath glass.
Planted with a carefully curated mix of foliage and moss, each terrarium is composed to create depth, texture and balance. The architectural glass panels and antique zinc-finished frame give a timeless botanical-garden feel, while the wooden base adds warmth and presence.
This is a living landscape designed to be admired — perfect for a console table, shelf or dining space.
Size: 21cm wide, 32cm tall
Materials: Glass, metal frame with antique zinc finish, wooden plinth base
Please note: Plant varieties may vary slightly, making every Wardian Case unique.

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.
