A gift they’ll actually remember
From date nights to birthdays, see how people across the UK are creating memories that keep growing with Leafage. 🌿
Date nights shouldn't feel like homework.
You've done the dinner. You've done the bar. You've definitely done the movie-but-on-the-laptop. We made a thing you build together, and then keep on a shelf forever.
Restaurants got boring
Another £90 on a meal you'll forget by Tuesday. The bill comes, the conversation dies.
Movies = phones out
Two people on a couch, three screens between you. Not a date, a co-working session.
"Activity dates" are exhausting
Pottery class. Axe throwing. Salsa. Cute on Instagram, £140 and a sore back in real life.
So we made a kit.
One box, 45 minutes, a living thing you made together. It sits on the shelf. It stays alive. So do you.
Leafage Terrarium Kit FAQs 🌿
Everything you need to know about our DIY terrarium kits, designed in London by a small UK team, delivered nationwide. Still stuck? Drop us a line at hello@weareleafage.com, a real human reads every email.
Do I need any plant experience to build a Leafage terrarium kit? Toggle answer
No plant experience needed. Our DIY terrarium kits are designed for total beginners, including self-confessed plant killers. Every kit comes with step by step instructions, low-maintenance plants chosen to thrive on neglect, and a real human on email if you ever get stuck.
If you can stack pancakes, you can build a Leafage terrarium. 🌿
What's in the box, and what should I do when my kit arrives? Toggle answer
Your Leafage terrarium kit arrives with everything you need to build your closed terrarium, a glass vessel, drainage stones, activated charcoal, tropical soil, fresh moss, live plants, decorative grit and a printed step by step guide. (The only extra you'll want is a basic spray bottle, see the next question.)
When it arrives, gently unbox it on a flat surface and give the plants a few minutes to settle. Build the same day if you can. If you need to wait a day or two, keep the plants out of direct sunlight and lightly mist them with water. That's it, no rush.
Do I need any extra tools, or is everything in the box? Toggle answer
Almost everything is in the box. Your Leafage DIY terrarium kit comes with the glass vessel, drainage stones, activated charcoal, tropical soil, fresh moss, live plants, decorative grit and a printed step by step guide.
The one thing we don't include is a spray bottle. If you've got one at home, brilliant. If not, a basic plant mister from any UK supermarket, garden centre or Amazon works perfectly (usually around £3 to £5).
Once your terrarium is built, a light mist roughly once a fortnight is all the watering it needs. Closed terrariums are self-regulating little ecosystems.
How long does a Leafage terrarium kit take to build? Toggle answer
Most people finish in 35 to 55 minutes. It's a relaxed, mindful build, no plant skills required, and the printed guide walks you through each step.
Couples, friends and solo builders often stretch it into a proper slow evening, pour a glass of wine, put on a playlist, and make it a real experience. Brilliant at the kitchen table, on holiday, or as a quiet treat after a long week.
If my kit arrives looking less than perfect, what should I do? Toggle answer
If your kit needs a little TLC, we've got you 💚
We lovingly pack each kit in the UK, but occasionally things can get a little jostled in transit. If anything arrives looking less than perfect, just email us at hello@weareleafage.com with your order number and a photo, and we'll make it right 💚
Does the terrarium need direct sunlight? Toggle answer
No, indirect light is best. Our DIY terrarium kits use tropical plants chosen for low to medium indirect light. A north-facing London flat, an office desk, or a shelf a few feet from a window all work beautifully.
Avoid full direct sun. The glass acts like a tiny greenhouse and can cook the plants. Bright but indirect is the sweet spot.
Is the kit safe for cats, dogs and kids? Toggle answer
Yes. Every plant in our terrarium kits is non-toxic to cats and dogs, checked against the ASPCA pet-safe list. The glass vessel is heavy and stable, and the closed lid keeps curious paws out.
Kids aged 8 and over love building one with a grown up, it's a lovely rainy weekend project. For younger children, an adult should handle the glass.
Can I buy a Leafage terrarium kit as a gift or for date night? Toggle answer
Absolutely, our kits are designed to be gifted. Every Leafage DIY terrarium kit arrives in a beautiful gift box with a hand-stamped card, and you can add a personalised message for free at checkout.
They make brilliant birthday gifts, anniversaries, wedding presents, thank yous, housewarmings and date night activities at home. Not sure of their schedule? A Leafage Gift Voucher from £25 lets them pick their own kit or workshop date.
Where do you deliver, and how long does UK delivery take? Toggle answer
We deliver across London and nationwide throughout the UK. Standard delivery is 2 to 3 working days, and orders over £50 ship with free UK delivery.
Every kit is packed by hand in our London studio. Need it for a specific date (birthday, anniversary, gifting)? Email us and we'll do our best to time it perfectly.
