Christmas Terrarium DIY Kit - Mini Winter Garden
Create a compact, living holiday scene with our Christmas Terrarium DIY Kit. This features the Asparagus Plumosus, (Red) Hypoestes Phyllosachya, and Herbstii Bloodleaf. Get hands-on and get to gardening!
Plant Personality & Aesthetic Appeal
This kit pairs feathery, airy foliage (Asparagus Plumosus) with the bright, speckled leaves of Red Hypoestes and the metallic-purple sheen of Herbstii Bloodleaf. The result is layered texture and contrast: a soft green backdrop, pops of festive red, and moody burgundy highlights. The trio reads like a miniature landscape. Place on a coffee table, mantel, dining table centerpiece, or office desk; cluster multiples for a coordinated tablescape. Add small ornaments, faux snow, or battery-operated micro lights for instant seasonal charm.
Growth Habit & Size Potential
All three plants stay compact indoors, depending on the container and pruning. Asparagus plumosus grows airy shoots that can reach 20 to 30cm, but are easy to trim. The Hypoestes remains a low, bushy 8 to 20cm. The Hemigraphis forms a 5 to 15cm carpet or clump. Growth rate is moderate under good light and humidity. No training is required. Just regular pinching will maintain shape. Choose a container roughly 15 to 25cm in diameter for single kits or a larger bowl if you want a denser composition.
Light & Location Needs
Bright, indirect light is ideal for terrariums like this. Hypoestes benefits from good light to keep leaf color vivid; too little light will dull red speckles. Hemigraphis prefers slightly lower light but will tolerate the same bright, filtered conditions as the others if humidity is adequate. Avoid hot, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch foliage. These plants suit indoor tabletops, well-lit offices, and sheltered balconies, but will not tolerate prolonged direct exposure or freezing temperatures.
Care Level & Maintenance Tips
Terrarium care is pretty easy. Keep the substrate lightly moist but not waterlogged (test by feeling the top 1 to 2cm). Mist every 2 to 5 days to maintain humidity, more often in dry indoor heat. Use a free-draining humus-rich mix with a layer of pebbles or activated charcoal for drainage and odor control. Trim asparagus shoots and pinch Hypoestes tips to encourage bushiness; remove any yellowing leaves promptly. Feed sparingly: a diluted liquid fertilizer (of quarter strength) once a month during active growth. Pet safety: Hypoestes and Hemigraphis are generally considered low-toxicity, but keep terrariums out of reach of pets and children.

The Christmas Terrarium Kit doubles as a seasonal project and a long-term micro-ecosystem. Also, daily micro-care (a mist here, a trim there) gives moments of mindful pause. The living colors (gentle green, festive red, and deep burgundy) enhance seasonal atmosphere and invite conversation.

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.

One of the best shoes

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect.
Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.
