A grow pod for cultivating moss, lichen, and fungi in a controlled environment.

The Anti-Terrarium is a grow pod that aims to shift the conversation surrounding biodiversity loss to low-visibility species like moss, lichen, and fungi. Often associated with dilapidation and sanctioned to the outdoors, the Anti-Terrarium attempts to challenge these perceptions by bringing them into indoor spaces in a compact and thought-provoking form.

These species thrive in low-light environments, but pressing the button will temporarily illuminate the interior of the grow pod for an engaging viewing experience.
