Frequently Asked Questions
Are earthworms included in the set?
No, earthworms are not included. You can easily find them in the garden or buy them at a garden centre. This way, you also learn where earthworms naturally live.
What age is the vivarium suitable for?
The vivarium is suitable for children aged 6 and above. Younger children can join in under supervision — observing together is fun for all ages.
How long until the plants germinate?
Magic beans germinate in just 3–5 days, carrots and radish in 7–14 days. Peanuts take a bit longer. This means there's always something new to discover over several weeks.
Where should I place the vivarium?
Place it in a bright spot without direct sunlight. Room temperature (18–22 °C) is ideal. Avoid placing it near radiators, as the soil dries out too quickly.
Can I buy replacement seeds?
Yes, you can use any standard seeds. The vivarium is reusable — simply replace the soil and plant new seeds.
