🌿 Clusia in a glass tube with cork stopper • 💧 Hydroponic — grows in water • 🔬 Visible roots • 📏 Ø5 cm — H15 cm • 🎁 Set of 3 tubes • ⚠️ Toxic to pets
This set of 3 Clusia in glass tubes is a collection of mini hydroponic plants in cylindrical tubes sealed with a cork stopper — the roots develop directly in the water, visible through the glass. A decorative object as well as a living plant, by Intenz. Dimensions: Ø5 cm, height 15 cm per tube.
With no substrate and minimal care, simply check the water level regularly. Please note: Clusia is toxic to pets. It is also a beautiful idea among the ready-to-give plant gifts.
Other formats available
Clusia in a glass tube is available in several formats in our catalog:
- Clusia in a glass tube — Set of 3 — Ø5/H15 cm (this product) — compact format, set of 3 tubes. Ideal for a composition or a gift.
- Clusia in a glass tube M — Ø12/H30 cm — medium format, a larger single tube. For a more statement-making effect.
- Clusia in a glass tube with LED — Ø5/H10 cm — mini format with integrated LED lighting. The most spectacular at night.
The set of 3 tubes is the ideal format for creating a composition — arrange them as a trio at slightly different heights for a highly decorative botanical laboratory effect.
Care — minimal
- Water: check the water level every 1 to 2 weeks and top it up if necessary.
- Type of water: filtered or rainwater is preferable — hard water leaves deposits in the tube.
- Light: bright indirect light — near a window, never in direct sun.
- Cleaning: rinse the glass tube occasionally to prevent green deposits (algae) — gently remove the plant, rinse the tube and put it back in place.
- Substrate: none — the plant grows entirely in water.
The cork stopper naturally regulates humidity inside the tube — remove it only to top up the water level or clean.
Decor ideas
The glass tubes with cork stoppers create a graphic, minimalist look — somewhere between a laboratory object and a botanical sculpture.
- As a trio on a shelf: place the 3 tubes side by side or at slightly different heights — their visible roots and foliage create a highly graphic botanical composition.
- On a desk: their compact Ø5/H15 cm format allows them to fit into any workspace without taking up too much room.
- As a gift: original, long-lasting and ready to display — a botanical gift that surprises. A beautiful idea among the botanical gifts.
Their roots, visible in the water, evolve over time — a living botanical display that transforms week after week.
Verdeia tips
- Top up the water level regularly — never let the roots dry out completely outside the water. A constant water level is the only real requirement of these plants.
- Rinse the tube if algae appear — light green algae may form on the sides over time. Remove the plant, rinse the tube with clean water and put it back in place. No cleaning product is needed.
- Avoid direct sun — it warms the water in the tube and encourages algae growth. Indirect light only. The first few days matter: a few simple steps can help you welcome a new plant.
- ⚠️ Toxic to pets — Clusia is toxic if ingested by cats and dogs. Keep these tubes out of reach of your pets. In a home with pets, it is better to choose from the pet-compatible plants.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
