Care & Display Tips

While pectin shells are not live plants, they are frequently used in conjunction with them, especially in terrariums and air plant displays. Proper care for the shells themselves is minimal, focusing mainly on maintaining their natural beauty and ensuring they complement your green companions. When integrating shells into a terrarium, ensure they are clean and free from any residues that could harm plants. A gentle rinse with fresh water and thorough drying is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage their natural luster or potentially harm any living elements they are paired with, preserving the integrity of your terrarium decor.

For air plants (Tillandsia) often paired with these shells, remember they thrive on bright, indirect light and regular misting or soaking. The shells provide a stable and attractive base, but the air plants themselves require consistent hydration and good air circulation. Periodically check your display to ensure no moisture is trapped in a way that could lead to mold or mildew, which can harm both your shells and your plants. These mixed shells are designed to be durable and long-lasting, requiring very little upkeep to remain beautiful. For general display, simply dust them periodically to maintain their natural charm and vibrant colors.
