The Forest Terrain Kit contains the decorative elements necessary to create a forest theme inside your preferred glass container. Simply add foliage from another plant or tree to the terrarium and you have the perfect habitat for your freshwater fish. Included are: mossy oak bark: An evergreen tree whose acidic composition makes it a perfect terrarium substrate. This wood is also native to southeastern Europe, central Asia, and North America.

mossy birch: A deciduous evergreen shrub native to the European Alps and its North American counterpart. This wood is also native to the Himalayan Mountains. Snowdrops, salamanders, and other reptiles will thrive in a terrarium designed with this versatile wood as the primary medium. This kit also contains a clear plastic base and a wiring loom.

moss apple tree: This deciduous fruit tree is a perfect candidate for a DIY kit. Its low growing height and full leaves make it easy to maintain and place in the habitat you’ve designed. Plus, it will provide berries to feed your pet iguana or two. This species is native to North America and the Caribbean. The only downside is that it goes brown when it reaches the final stages of its life cycle.

moss Rosemary tree: Shrubbery is a good choice for a self contained environment because it requires low maintenance. This attractive shrub, native to Europe, can go green in just a couple of years. It forms tight colonies and produces new shoots that produce new leaves and growth. These shoot off new roots and root systems should spread out as far as possible in the confines of your terrarium. Because it takes a minimum of four years to complete one cycle of growth, moss Rosemary plants can be planted at any time during the year.

moss mat cypress tree: This deciduous shrub is perfect for a self contained ecosystem with the right balance of nutrients needed by a terrestrial vertebrate. Like most cypress trees, it forms tightly packed coniferous forests as it grows. Its color varies from dark green to light green, with patches of silvery brown on its trunk. In this forest terrarium kit, you’ll be provided with a fully functional terrarium complete with a moss mat and all the necessary supplies to grow the tree.

terrariums with live plants and livestock are more popular than ever before. However, for a true “do it yourselfer”, a DIY kit includes not only the materials but also instructions to assemble the entire system. This kit comes with a simple set of instructions, including UV lighting and a water pump. It’s a great way to get started growing your own organic livestock or planting an assortment of flowering shrubs.

You will also receive a pre-strained base that allows you to place the terrarium on a dry surface. Included in the kit are the two main terrarium components; the tubing and the hypoallergenic filter. The tubing contains the roots and the filter provide biological control as well as mechanical control of your new marine reptile or amphibian friends.

With a forest terrarium kit, you get a sturdy, beautiful enclosure that’s easy to assemble and install. The kit includes a clear acrylic canopy with plastic diffusers to provide a natural source of UV lighting. Inside you’ll find multiple levels of the same durable tube design and ample air flow. The design of the canopy allows you to easily regulate the temperature and humidity. On top of all this, the kit is available with a custom made UV lighting system that adds a realistic glow to the habitat. The UV lighting makes the substrate appears alive and well, and the diffused light makes the environment look like a real underwater forest.
