Q: Throw do u care for it after it has grown a lot? Transplant?
submitted by Callahan - 8 years ago
A: My daughters planted the seeds provided in the kit. They do not sprout actual flowers but more like a petit grass/ground cover. We did not transplant as there was really no reason to.
submitted byrechellea - 8 years ago
A: You can trim the plants, transplant to a larger container, or dispose and replant as we provide enough seeds for multiple plantings.

Q: Does it mold? How can I prevent it from molding?
submitted by sarah - 1 year ago
A: If overwatered or humid, you may get fuzzy growth appear. Remove lid and let the garden dry a bit - air circulation helps. Only water the surface till moist - not wet - when the soil is dry.

Q: Can you plant flower seeds and or bulbs?
submitted by Rhonda - 1 year ago
A: The kit is designed for chia seed. Due to the small container size, we would not recommend planting flower seeds or bulbs.
submitted byCreativity for Kids - 1 year ago
Q: I have one but it is dying. How do you replant it?
submitted by Balletlil14 - 6 years ago
A: Yes, over time your garden will need to be replanted. You can use left over materials that you may have from the kit or purchase new soil and seeds from your local garden center. You will basically take the materials out of the jar and rework the project.

Hands-On fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grow and glow capybara terrarium kit was a fantastic, screen free activity that was easy to navigate and assemble with my child. The bright colors and fun stickers made it immediately eye-catching, and kept my 5-year-old completely engaged throughout the process. My little boy was so excited to have a Hands-On project where he could actually watch his plants grow. The only downfall was that it eventually started to grow mold, which was a bit disappointing.

So much fun, great bonding experience and easy to
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This terrarium was so much fun to make with my son! It was a great way to bond and do something creative that will last him. It was easy to do and the directions were clear. It can be moved around from room to room very easily. My son enjoys having this as part of his decor. Especially because he made it himself.

Fun and cute
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the capybara grow n glow terrarium! It’s a fun activity and easy for kids to follow along as long as they read the proper instructions ( I might have followed the diagram and not the instructions at first but that’s on me). I also really like that there is no need for sunlight and growth still happens without it. It took about 3-4 days of watering to see little sprouts pop up. It’s important to remember to water it each day especially when it’s first starting to grow. It’s a fun little activity!

Giftable and cute
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a cute gift for my niece. The products inside like the jar seem like good quality and intentional, for example it’s not a plain jar. We are still waiting for them to grow but they give you tons of seeds so it shouldn’t be a problem. A great Gender neutral gift!

Fun Activity for Kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved creating a capybara terrarium. The packaging is eye catching and quite appealing. It was a fun activity that taught my son about an ecosystem. I feel it is fairly priced. My son suggested it provide exact info on the amount of water as he sprayed a little too much. Overall, he enjoyed this activity.

A fun, educational, and easy-to-use terrarium kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son had so much fun with this Grow N’ Glow Terrarium! The kit was easy to assemble and came with everything we needed to get started. He loved decorating it with the cute capybara theme and watching the seeds sprout over the next few days. It was such a fun, hands-on way to teach him about how plants grow, and the glow-in-the-dark feature made it extra exciting at night. The packaging was neat and clear, and everything felt durable and well-made. It’s a great mix of creativity and learning.. perfect for kids who enjoy crafts and science projects!

Review for Grow N’ Glow Terrarium by Creativity fo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review for Grow N’ Glow Terrarium by Creativity for Kids The Grow N’ Glow Terrarium is such a fun, colorful, and creative project! I recently started homeschooling my 7-year-old, and this was the perfect addition to our learning activities. My son was so excited to set everything up and plant the seeds—and to our surprise, we saw sprouts in just two days! What makes this kit truly perfect is that everything you need is included—just add water. It comes with two adorable capybara figures, plenty of stickers (some glow in the dark!), and even part of the soil and rocks that glow in the dark too. It’s engaging, educational, and super easy to use. It came well packaged, and all the materials are sturdy and well made. The price is also very affordable for the quality and fun it provides. This terrarium is perfect for homeschool projects, a fun rainy-day activity, or even as a cute decoration for a child’s room. It also makes a wonderful gift for any creative kid who loves hands-on activities and watching their little garden come to life!
