MORE SUNDEW KITS AVAILABLE! A tiny carnivorous plant swamp that should grow for you even if you IGNORE IT ENTIRELY, by which I mean the following are some jars I have never touched (let alone opened) in over six months to a year:

This is the scale of the little baby sundews I will send you:

Here's how the sphagnum moss can grow depending on conditions:

Tinier little plants and liverworts will also come in your moss! Includes instructions in the box but here's some FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Don't they ever need air?!

-No! Some plants can't handle but the processes of Photosynthesis and a symbiotic microbiome allow many plants to live in an airtight container as long as it holds any moisture.

Do I need to water these?

-No! If they're in a properly sealed clear container that never loses moisture, you will never have to water these. If you do need to add water for any reason though it HAS to be distilled, reverse osmosis water, or fresh rain water, not just filtered or purified water. Luckily you can buy distilled water by the gallon at any grocery store! This is the one rule you have to take to the letter; carnivorous plants grow in such a strict type of wetland, even water from most healthy natural ponds will kill them!

How often do they need to be fed?

-Technically never. As carnivorous plants they will grow bigger, faster and more colorful if you give them tiny prey, such as ants or fruit flies, and some people have success with crumbs of fish food, but be sure to remove any food that gets moldy. If you NEVER feed them, they will still grow anyway, just scrappier.

What about climate?

-Sundews are generally fine as long as they don't freeze solid or roast at over 100f for too long, but can still bounce back even from a little frost or a heat wave, basically more temperature-resistant than you probably are! What are their light requirements? -ANY light that plants can live on, including plant-friendly indoor LED lights! Sundews can make do just fine in fairly low to medium light, but also enjoy intense, full blast sunlight, which can even turn them reddish pink over time. As long as they aren't in total darkness, they should do alright! What about the mosses?? -Sphagnum moss grows right alongside sundews in the wild and enjoys all the same conditions!

What if it dies anyway?!

-Sometimes a sundew dies down naturally, especially after it produces a flower or under prolonged winter cold, but leave it be and you might eventually notice new growth. Here's one of mine that turned completely brown and rotten looking, then months later, every leaf sprouted a baby one:

Well, I managed to get my plants watered today, despite it feeling really hard to make myself do anything, so as I treat I'm posting pictures of some of my plants that I'm really proud of 🌿🌱❤️

First off, I'm really proud of my air plants! Especially my one friend who's about to do a bloom!

Next, I'm proud of my Zebra Stripe terrarium! (Featured behind my two-air-plant-holder) The plants in there have really taken off, and my buggies seem to love it!

Next, I'm really proud of Rudy! I have had this poinsettia for THREE YEARS. I was neglecting it expecting it to die at the end of the first season, but it lived in its little foil-wrapped pot for MONTHS despite it, and I felt IMMENSELY bad and started treating him right and he is FLOURISHING

And my cactus terrarium! I mist it with a spray bottle once a week to keep from accidentally overwatering it, and it seems pretty happy!

I have loads of other plants, but I'd say these guys are the highlights!

My friends know me so well.

Girlie brought me to a Terrarium Cafe.

A cafe. Filled with terrariums. Huge terrariums the size of a door and tiny ones the size of a teacup

I didn’t even know such a place existed

It was so glorious

She got coffee and I oohed and ahhed over the plants for hours

This was a slime container from the toy aisle at a pharmacy years ago, now it's a little windowsill jungle of sphagnum moss :)

It could only be better if it weren't made of plastic but they wouldn't sell kids a glass jar of slime. Plastic isn't the best for stuff like this because light (especially sun) does slowly but surely deteriorate it.

Edible Pokemon terrariums!

My fiance and I are getting married this summer, and for a nerdy touch, we’ve been buying Japanese gashapon figures for some nerdy terrarium centerpieces! But I wanted to make edible versions, and as part of our St. Jude fundraiser, donors could choose how we decorated! By the end of May, we had raised over $1000, and made three unique terrariums that all had an Eeveelution touch!

Poncho Eeveelution terrarium: rock candy, chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbs, shredded coconut, vanilla cake

Beach terrarium: rock candy, graham cracker crumbs, granola, blue Jello

Ghost terrarium: rock candy, Oreo crumbs, OMG chocolate clusters, candy bones, purple potato chips

scaphosepalum breve spp.

they are a continuous bloomer for most of the year! they put out one or two flowers on the end of each bloom spike and then as one flower blooms and fades a new one forms.

mine was aborting it’s flowers until i gave her more ambient humidity with this open terrarium as well as some more natural light. five or so months since i repotted and she is thriving <3
