Terrarium restoration

If your terrarium has lost its vitality, has overgrown plants, or has exhausted substrate, the restoration service brings it back into balance: our nursery specialists assess the terrarium, care for or replace the plants, renew the substrate, and clean the container.

What restoration includes

Restoration is a complete service for your open or closed terrarium: it begins with an assessment of the condition of the plants and container and ends with advice for keeping it healthy for a long time.

• Assessment: analysis of the condition of the terrarium and its plants.
• Plant care: pruning and replacing damaged, overgrown, or no longer suitable plants; salvaging those that are still healthy.
• New substrate: replacing or adding soil and drainage materials.
• Cleaning: sanitizing the container and decorative elements, which are rearranged.
• Advice: instructions for keeping the terrarium healthy after restoration.

Who it is for

The service is designed for anyone whose terrarium is no longer thriving but does not want to give it up: a neglected ecosystem, a gift you are attached to, or a terrarium with plants that have outgrown the available space.

• Terrariums with mold, persistent condensation, or struggling plants.
• Neglected terrariums that need complete regeneration.
• Terrariums with overgrown plants or plants that need replacing.
• Terrariums received as gifts or party favors that need restoring.

How it works

The restoration always begins with an initial contact: you describe the terrarium, we assess the most suitable format together, and agree on how to get it to us. After the service, you will receive instructions for keeping it healthy.

1. Contact us: write to us via the Contact page, describing the terrarium; a photo helps us assess it.
2. Choose the format: we will recommend the right restoration format for your terrarium.
3. Terrarium delivery: we agree together on how to get it to us.
4. Restoration: our nursery specialists take care of the plants, substrate, and cleaning.
5. After restoration: follow the instructions you received to maintain the terrarium's balance.

Prices

The price depends on the restoration format, which is based on the terrarium's size and the work required: prices range from €5.50 to €27.50. If you are unsure which format to choose, write to us before ordering.

After restoration

A restored terrarium stays healthy with a few consistent care routines: the right light, water only when needed, and minimal intervention. Here are the basic guidelines, which we complete on a case-by-case basis.

• Keep it in a bright spot but out of direct sunlight.
• Mist with distilled water only when the substrate appears dry, without overdoing it.
• Keep it away from heat sources and sudden temperature changes.
• Remove dry or yellowing leaves.
• If it is closed, do not open it too often, so as not to release the internal humidity.
