The Terra Hydro 80:80, handmade in Japan
With this label, surely comes the exquisite craftmanship, because solder on glass is an especially difficult trade. As the Terra Hydro can contain water in its bottom reservoir, this shows how perfect the solder must be. Whilst in some terrariums you can’t even water the plant, because the solder will rust and cause damage to the structure, these Terra Hydro are made to hold water.
1012 Terra & Misc-Store Amsterdam
At Misc-Store the 1012 Terra Hydro's have been with us all the way from the beginning when we opened our doors in 2014. We never tire of their beauty and always have a few on display growing cacti, succulents and clippings.
At Misc-store we offer a range of items by 1012 Terra, as their Brass Lid and Glass Set and their Terra Show Case Long.
How to grow a succulent or cactus new roots:
Clean the soil off the roots, and cut them to 1 cm, then leave them to dry (this process will prevent rotting in a later stage). Then place the cactus or succulent in the top-part with the roster and let the cut off roots touch the water.
Refresh the water every now and then. Once the roots are accommodated to their new environment (from no water to a lot of water - so allow time to get accustomed to the new situation and think about that little creature needing to change its DNA to survive), the roots will grow.
We do confess, it’s a kind of trial and error. It’s difficult, yes, but not impossible. Sometimes it works with a type of cactus, and then the next time it doesn’t. We appreciate its process and are actually pretty excited to see when a cactus is finding its way to adapt, millimetre by millimetre.
Office green increases productivity
Did you know that even a single plant on or near your desk has a proven effect on both your mental and physical health, lowering blood pressure and reducing stress? Adding plants to your work environment has a great calming effect, making the workspace instantly more enjoyable to be in. Plants make us feel comfortable, relaxed and happy. All these positive effects even result in heightened productivity and creativity. And as we love trips to the botanical gardens, why not have more greens in the home and office?
Misc-store & Green Living
As we promote green living and seeing the above mentioned positive effects of greenery in the work environment, Misc-store Amsterdam aims to get your work environment a little greener. Plants and flowers deserve a spot on your desk, and in your (home-) office, and we feel we have the right planters, pots and vases to accommodate them.

About 1012 Terra
On very rare occasions, maybe once or twice a year, the Sonoran desert in Baja California will become inundated with flash floods, created by water travelling from mountains over 100 kilometres away. The effect this has on the landscape is remarkable. Flowers burst into life after having laid dormant for thirty years; insects burst from the ground, searching for new food; and cacti swell, in some cases doubling in size.
We can see the remarkable effect that water has on plants very clearly when they sit in a [1012 ] Terra case. Surprisingly, a succulent thrives quite well with nothing but water, taking only as much as it needs. Given the perfect conditions, a happy [1012 ] Terra plant can produce up to 1012 (that is, one trillion) cells per day: about as much as a human thumb.
[1012 ] Terra cases are not only beautiful ways to display your plants, but an opportunity to think about the most essential life-force of all: water. How it moves and how it stands still. To contain this water, these cases have to be little feats of engineering in and of themselves. Hand-made by Japanese artisans, the soldered iron is covered so precisely by glass panes that it neither leaks nor rusts. Everything is perfectly, prismatically, contained. An ecosystem of its own.
All items are handmade to order in Japan.
We have our own small (but growing) collection of [1012 ] Terra succulents growing in our Amsterdam store: come and take a look. Alternatively, you can browse our shop online.
