The Vintage Glasshouse Garden: Victorian Conservatory Terrarium with Live Moss


$419.00

  • Details
    The Vintage Glasshouse Garden brings the romance of an old-fashioned Victorian conservatory down to miniature scale. Behind its black-framed glass walls, lush living moss grows beneath soaring glass panes, creating a tiny botanical world.

    Inspired by the grand glasshouses and conservatories created to bring treasured gardens indoors, this miniature version captures a little of that same wonder: a living garden under glass, small enough for a shelf, desk, or tabletop yet large enough to become a visually stunning centerpiece.

    Each terrarium is individually planted and arranged by hand using living moss and natural materials, so no two Glasshouse Gardens will ever be exactly alike. Your landscape will have the same overall design and character as the one shown while growing into a little world uniquely its own.

    THE DETAILS

    • Size: Approximately 12” H × 7” W. Its tall, narrow shape makes it especially suited to shelves, desks, side tables and other smaller display spaces. Best viewed from the front and sides.

    • Living landscape: Planted with several varieties of real, living moss arranged by hand to create layers of texture and varying shades of green.

    • Glass conservatory: The black-framed glass structure features a hinged roof for easy access when misting or maintaining your moss.

    • Vintage-inspired design: This is a newly made terrarium, not a vintage or antique item. Its black-framed glass architecture is inspired by vintage Victorian glasshouses and conservatories.

    • Easy care: Living moss is wonderfully low maintenance. Place your terrarium in bright, indirect light a few feet from a window, or beneath a 6500K LED grow light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can overheat the glass enclosure.

    • Watering: Lightly mist with distilled water approximately every 2-4 weeks, adjusting slightly if needed for the conditions in your home.

    • Everything you need: Your terrarium includes a free spray bottle and detailed care instructions, so you’ll know exactly how to care for your little glasshouse garden.

    • Individually handmade: Each piece is planted and landscaped by hand. Moss growth, shape, color and placement of the natural materials will vary, so yours will closely follow the overall design shown while remaining completely unique.

    • Made to order: Your terrarium is created after your order is placed. Please allow for the processing time before shipment.

    • Shipping: Each terrarium is carefully secured and packed using specialized materials designed to protect the landscape during transit. Tracking is provided once your order is on its way.

    • U.S. shipping only: Because this terrarium contains living plant material, it cannot be shipped internationally.

    How are terrariums packaged and shipped?

    Terrariums are packaged with great care. Packing material is used both inside and outside the jar so that the contents are not jumbled around during shipping. Any terrarium containing live plants should be unpacked immediately after arrival. Plants cannot survive long periods of time inside the box or with packing material covering them. If you need to keep the terrarium in the box then place it in the refrigerator until needed. This will keep the plant fresh (simulating winter conditions) and green. Remember to remove the packing material prior to storage.
