Tiny Gardens – Small Gardens in Glass

A Look at the Different Tiny Gardens
Each Tiny Garden is inspired by a different national park and tells its own story. From the tropical plants of the Amazon to the remarkable biodiversity of Kinabalu and the cactus landscapes of El Vizcaíno, each miniature world brings the unique atmosphere of these places into your home.

The planting is carefully tailored to the respective landscapes:

• Yakushima, Japan: Moss-covered forests and a Carmona bonsai, inspired by one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.
• Monument Valley, USA: Reddish soil, mesas, and the hardy Beaucarnea palm.
• Amazônia, Brazil: The Amazon rainforest, with its breathtaking diversity, represented by bromeliads, mosses, lichens, and orchids.
• El Vizcaíno, Mexico: Cacti and agaves reflecting the stark yet impressive landscapes of Baja California.
• Drakensberg, South Africa: Gorges, wildflowers, and birdlife, depicted by the easy-care jade plant and Haworthia.
• Kinabalu, Borneo: Tropical plants like Ficus "Ginseng" and silver lace fern, inspired by one of the oldest rainforests on Earth.
• Tikal, Guatemala: Mosses, delicate Fittonia, and tropical greenery, inspired by the mystical rainforests and ancient ruins of the Mayan city.

Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
One great advantage of Rutishauser's Tiny Gardens is their low maintenance while providing years of enjoyment. The open glass containers are designed to create a balanced climate that supports the plants and minimizes their water requirements. The substrate and plants work together to regulate moisture levels.

The Tiny Garden Tikal, Guatemala, is an exception: it comes with a lid that allows you to occasionally create a tropical microclimate. Water evaporates, rises, condenses on the glass walls, and flows back into the substrate, keeping the soil evenly moist – just like in Guatemala's rainforests.

• Watering: How often you need to water depends on the plant selection. On average, lightly moistening the soil every one to four weeks is sufficient. Each glass comes with a small info flyer that includes all the essential care instructions for your Tiny Garden.
• Placement: A bright spot without direct sunlight is ideal, as too much heat can stress the plants.
