Whether at home, in the office or as an eye-catcher on the sideboard: the compact terrarium (2 liters) is made for small spaces and allows you to keep terrarium plants at home - regardless of the season. Particularly practical: each set is unique and therefore looks like a small, living decorative object.The micro terrarium is equipped with a glass container and a round cover with integrated LED lighting to provide your plants with good conditions. The energy-saving plant lamp (3.8 W, 5 V) offers a switchable light intensity and ensures that your carnivores get enough light even if the location is not directly next to a sunny window. For the power supply, use a safe USB-A power supply (1000 mA recommended, not included) or a USB-A port on the computer. A crucial point with carnivorous plants is the right substrate. Therefore, the terrarium contains a complete substrate that is adapted to carnivores, including special volcanic soil. This plant bed supports an even moisture level and creates a structure in which the plants can gain a good foothold. The movable ventilation cover also allows you to regulate the humidity inside - depending on how humid you want your biotope to be. This promotes a climate that encourages healthy growth. The set is suitable for enthusiasts who want a decorative mini-ecosystem, as well as for beginners who want to get started without a lot of set-up work. You will receive a complete system with five carnivorous plants that can be used immediately - also ideal as a gift for anyone looking for something special.Zoo Roco tip:To keep your plants beautiful for a long time, keep the humidity stable via ventilation and avoid strong temperature fluctuations directly next to heaters or in draughts. If possible, use low-mineral water (e.g. rainwater or osmosis water) for carnivores. VivoVerde Tropical Rain is recommended as a supplement for spraying (available separately) - practical if you want to specifically increase the humidity in the terrarium.
