Terrarium
A terrarium is basically a garden in a box. Inside you can
place rocks, soil and plants to watch this little ecosystem
grow and change. The included terrarium can also be used for
observing small animals like insects or as a transport box.
Handling your terrarium
• To remove the lid of the terrarium, pull the fastenings on
both short sides of the lid outwards and upwards.
• For quick and easy access, the terrarium is equipped with
a transparent hatch. Just lift it up to feed your animals or
water your plants.
• For convenient transport of your terrarium, use the handle
on the top of the lid.
Building a plant terrarium
Create your own plant terrarium by layering gravel or small stones, sphagnum moss or a piece of landscape
fabric and soil in the container. Then, delicately place suitable plants you have selected for your terrarium
like ferns, mosses, or succulents inside. If you wish, you can also add decorative items like shells or figu-
rines to make your terrarium look even more appealing. Water the plants sparingly and observe the water
cycle in action as well as the growth and development of your plants.
Plants are the lungs of the Earth playing a crucial role in our planet's health by producing oxygen and absor-
bing carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis. There are around 391,000 species of vascular
plants currently known to science, and they are found in almost every habitat from the deepest oceans to
the highest mountains. Just like humans and animals, plants need care, attention, and the right environ-
ment to grow and thrive.
By observing your terrarium, you will witness the fascinating life cycle of your plants and understand the
delicate balance of ecosystems.
Butterfly net
The butterfly net can be useful for gathering samples, which
can later be observed through your magnifying glass or jar.
Adjusting the length of the shaft
The shaft of the butterfly net consists of two parts joined by
a connector. To adjust the length, simply add or remove the
upper part of the shaft as well as the connector.
