Humid Vivarium - Small
A lush miniature landscape designed as a compact piece of living art.
The Small Humid Vivarium brings together carefully selected tropical plants, moss, natural stone, and textured hardscape to create a dense, humid composition with remarkable depth for its size.
Designed around layered foliage and contrasting textures, each vivarium is individually composed by PaluVurse to create a natural sense of scale while maintaining a refined, balanced appearance.
Ideal for smaller interiors, shelves, consoles, or dedicated display areas, it introduces the atmosphere of a tropical understory without overwhelming the space.

Your PaluVurse Vivarium is composed using approved humid plants selected by PaluVurse according to compatibility, specimen quality, mature size, availability and the final design.
You may add 1 additional plant from the available Accent, Trailing or Groundcover categories. PaluVurse selects the final compatible species and placement.

Specific plant species or significant changes to the planting composition are available through Custom Builds.
The PaluVurse Humid Vivarium is designed as a lush tropical living composition requiring moderate routine care.
Follow the supplied PaluVurse care guide for watering, humidity, lighting, ventilation, pruning, cleaning, and seasonal adjustments.
Maintain appropriate humidity while allowing sufficient airflow around the plants. Avoid continuously saturated substrate unless specifically required by an individual plant.
The Humid Vivarium contains no standing-water feature and should not be treated as a Paludarium.
Place the ecosystem on a level, stable, water-resistant support capable of carrying its complete operating weight.
Avoid:
Excessive or insufficient watering
Prolonged unsuitable drying
Excessively stagnant conditions
Extreme temperatures
Thermal shock
Unsuitable prolonged direct sunlight
Incompatible cleaners, chemicals, or fertilizers
Blocked ventilation
Unauthorized structural modifications
Moving or lifting the ecosystem while it contains plants, substrate, or hardscape
Proper setup and routine maintenance are important to the long-term health of the ecosystem and applicable warranty coverage.
Delivery & Arrival
Your PaluVurse ecosystem is prepared as a completed living composition.
Plants, substrate, hardscape, and other landscape elements are installed wherever safe transportation allows. Any component requiring separate protection during shipment will be clearly identified and accompanied by setup instructions.
Final shipping method: To be confirmed.
When Your Ecosystem Arrives
Inspect the exterior packaging before opening.
Photograph any visible puncture, crushing, wetness, tilting, or other damage.
Carefully unpack the ecosystem.
Photograph the ecosystem and included components before setup.
Keep all packaging until the order has been fully inspected and confirmed.
Visible transportation damage: Report within 48 hours of delivery.
Concealed transportation damage or missing items: Report promptly after discovery, preferably within 7 days of delivery.
Plant concerns: Report within the applicable 14-day plant guarantee period.
These reporting periods help PaluVurse document and process transportation and warranty claims promptly. They do not limit any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer law.
Cancellations
Standard PaluVurse Ecosystem orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase, provided preparation or production has not already begun.
Because each ecosystem contains live plants and is individually prepared and assembled for the order, change-of-mind cancellations are not accepted once preparation or production has begun.
Once an order has shipped, it can no longer be cancelled.
Returns & Exchanges
Due to the living, fragile, and individually composed nature of PaluVurse ecosystems, delivered ecosystems and live plants are not returnable or exchangeable for change of mind.
This does not apply to products that arrive damaged, defective, materially different from the confirmed order, or otherwise qualify for a remedy under the PaluVurse Standard Ecosystem Limited Warranty or applicable consumer law.
Mandatory consumer rights under applicable provincial or territorial law remain unaffected.
12-Month PaluVurse Limited Warranty
Standard PaluVurse Ecosystems include a 12-month written limited warranty covering eligible defects in PaluVurse-supplied materials, fabrication, assembly, seals, installed components, and PaluVurse workmanship under normal use and proper care.
Plant Guarantee
Live plants include a 14-day arrival and establishment guarantee.
Photographs and compliance with the supplied PaluVurse care instructions may be required to assess a plant claim.
Where replacement is appropriate, PaluVurse may provide the same plant when reasonably available or a biologically appropriate substitute of comparable value.
Third-Party Equipment
Third-party equipment is subject to the applicable manufacturer warranty, if any.
PaluVurse separately covers eligible defects resulting from its own installation or connection of that equipment for 12 months.
Exclusions
The written warranty does not cover loss, damage, or failure caused or materially contributed to by circumstances including:
Impact, breakage, accident, misuse, or neglect
Improper or insufficient support
Moving or relocating an ecosystem while improperly supported or while containing materials that should have been removed before transport
Thermal shock, freezing, excessive heat, or other unsuitable environmental conditions
Incorrect setup or unsuitable care
Incompatible cleaners, chemicals, fertilizers, plants, animals, or equipment
Unauthorized repair, alteration, or structural modification
Failure to perform required routine maintenance
An exclusion applies only to the extent that the excluded event caused or contributed to the reported issue.
Natural Variation
Every PaluVurse ecosystem is individually composed using living plants and natural materials.
Plants, stone, wood, substrate, colour, texture, markings, grain, shape, size, and final arrangement naturally vary between ecosystems.
Website photographs are representative of the design character and overall composition unless a specific specimen is expressly identified.
Normal plant acclimatization, limited leaf loss, natural weathering, plant growth, and ordinary biological changes are not defects by themselves.
Consumer Rights
This written warranty is additional to any mandatory legal or implied warranties applicable in the purchaser’s province or territory.
Mandatory consumer rights and remedies remain unaffected.
