Pumpkin Glass Terrarium – Closed Ecosystem with Fern, Peperomia, Tradescantia & String of Frogs
A Living Ecosystem in the Most Charming Vessel Imaginable
This stunning closed terrarium is planted inside a hand-blown pumpkin-shaped glass vessel — ribbed, clear, and topped with a glass stem lid that seals in a self-sustaining miniature ecosystem. Inside, a lush planting of Tradescantia with striking silver and dark green striped leaves, a deep green Peperomia with rich red stems, a delicate Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum) with its signature bright chartreuse fronds, and a creeping String of Frogs (Ficus pumila quercifolia) with its tiny, distinctive oak-leaf-shaped leaves create a layered, moody, living landscape that thrives on its own with minimal care.
