PYEF CRAFTS 1-Gallon Terrarium Kit — Complete DIY Glass Jar Kit with Cork, Pre‑Measured Layers

This PYEF CRAFTS Terrarium Kit supplies pre-measured layers and tools so you can assemble a sealed, attractive ecosystem in a clear 1-gallon jar with cork lid. The kit arrives ready for you to add a plant of your choice and follow simple, illustrated steps — ideal for first-time makers, classroom projects, or mindful home décor. Materials are chosen to support a closed water cycle and healthy root conditions when combined correctly.

How simple is setup for a beginner?

Very straightforward — no prior terrarium experience required. The kit includes a step-by-step guide and tools sized for the jar so each layer goes in the right order without guesswork.

• Pre-measured coconut soil, sphagnum moss, and decorative stones
• Activated charcoal to keep the jar fresh and odor-free
• Bamboo tweezers and spoon sized for careful planting and arranging
• Clear assembly directions for layering, planting, and sealing

Which plants work best inside this sealed 1-gallon terrarium?

The jar suits small, humidity-loving species that thrive in limited root space. Choose low-growing or compact plants that tolerate high humidity and indirect light for long-term success.

• Fittonia (nerve plant) for colorful foliage
• Mini ferns for delicate, lush texture
• Moss varieties for a soft, carpeted look
• Tillandsia (placed carefully) for an airy accent if not fully buried

What maintenance does a closed terrarium require?

Maintenance is minimal once sealed: the enclosed jar recycles moisture, so watering needs are rare. Open the cork occasionally to check for condensation balance and prune any overgrowth or rot.

• Monitor condensation — wipe excess and air briefly if very wet
• Prune or trim plants to prevent overcrowding
• Avoid direct sun to prevent overheating and scorch
• Only water sparingly before sealing if soil appears dry

What comes in the box and what do I still need?

The kit contains almost everything needed to construct a functional terrarium packaged to fit the 1-gallon jar. The only item you supply is the living plant itself and a clean workspace to build the scene.

• Included: 1-gallon glass jar with cork lid, coconut soil, sphagnum moss
• Included: decorative stones, activated charcoal, bamboo tweezers, bamboo spoon
• Included: cultivation instructions and pre-measured portions
• Not included: live plant — choose your preferred small species
