Why did I choose a terrarium as a hobby to enjoy with my child?
I felt like I was not spending enough time with my child, so I looked for an activity we could make together and keep as a memory. Anything requiring lots of supplies felt daunting to start, but then I noticed a terrarium kit for decorating a tiny forest inside a glass jar. The product my child and I used this time was the Poreomoment Terrarium Kit Type C.
When parents and children have different interests, it can be hard to choose something to do together. I thought that making a small space together while handling plants and soil would let us chat and spend time together.
What was I worried about before making it for the first time?
I had given up halfway through another DIY kit before because the materials were difficult to handle or the instructions were not detailed enough. I also remembered the soil and moss deteriorating and finding water management difficult. Since I had previously used a jar with an opening too small to get my hand into, I worried this one might be similar.
So I looked at the jar's size and material, the included materials, and whether tools were provided. It was also important that a beginner could easily understand the order of steps. The guidance for Poreomoment Type C felt simple and clear, and its shipping packaging was sturdy too.
What comes in the kit, and was it easy for my child to handle?
The box contained a clear glass jar, silky moss, an evergreen fern, potting soil, decomposed granite, volcanic rock, and a figurine. Everything was packed securely, and my child loved the panda figurine the moment they saw it.
The instruction manual explained the sequence with pictures and text, so it was easy to follow. The jar opening was not too small, so my child could put their hand inside and decorate it. Having all the needed materials prepared in one kit was convenient.
What order did we follow to make it together?
After taking out the materials one by one, we made a drainage layer with decomposed granite and added potting soil on top. We shaped the terrain we wanted while touching small amounts of soil with our hands, and even my child, who does not usually get to touch soil, joined in happily.
We planted the evergreen fern, added the silky moss, and finally placed the figurine. It was fun to think together about where to put the plants and decorations inside the glass jar. Once it was finished, it felt like we had made a tiny forest together.
How was it in the living room, and was care a burden?
In the living room, the green plants changed the feel of the space. What I liked most was that every time I looked at the tiny forest in the glass jar, I remembered the time I made it with my child.
It did need regular care even after it was finished. Still, from watering it myself, I found that it needed only a small amount, so it did not feel like a major burden. It was a kit that let us enjoy both the making process and the time spent appreciating it afterward.
