Frequently Asked Questions
How to prevent algae in a glass hydroponic vase? Algae develop almost exclusively in the presence of direct light — keep the vase away from direct sunlight and place it in a bright spot without direct exposure. Regularly renewing the water every 2 weeks also prevents stagnation, which encourages their growth.
Can you give a hydroponic plant on a stand as a gift? Yes — it’s actually one of its main advantages. The neat presentation (glass sphere on a black metal stand) requires no additional packaging, maintenance is minimal, and the visual effect is immediately striking. It’s an original plant gift that suits both plant lovers and interior design enthusiasts.

🌿 Hydroponic Clusia • 💧 Visible roots in a glass sphere • 🖤 Elegant black metal stand • ☀️ Indirect light • 🎁 Ready to gift • 📏 H10 cm | Jar Ø5 cm
Clusia en bocal Victoria is a mini hydroponic plant presented in an elegant transparent glass sphere set on an arched black metal stand. Clusia rosea, also known as the autograph tree, is a tropical plant native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. Its roots grow directly in the water in the sphere, visible through the glass — the whole creates a refined botanical decorative object, somewhere between a sculpture and a living plant.
No soil, easy care, and a polished presentation. A lovely idea among plant gifts and unusual plants.
Which hydroponic Clusia version should you choose?
Clusia is available in several glass container formats, each with a distinct aesthetic:
- Clusia en bocal Victoria sur support métal noir (this product) — glass sphere on an arched black metal stand, H10 cm | Jar Ø5 cm. The most sculptural decorative object.
- Clusia Samoa jar — rounded jar without support, H10 cm | Jar Ø5 cm. The sleek, rounded version.
- Clusia Samoa jar + LED — rounded jar with integrated LED lighting. The illuminated version.
- Clusia cylindrical jar — open cylindrical jar, H30 cm | Jar Ø12 cm. The more imposing version.
- Clusia ball with cork stopper — glass ball with stopper, H30 cm | Jar Ø12 cm. The large, closed version.
- Hydroponic plant with gold leaf support and wooden base — same style, gold support and wooden base. The warm golden version.
Why choose the Victoria bowl? It is the most sculptural format - the glass sphere on its arched black metal stand creates a unique silhouette that looks more like a design object than a simple plant. Ideal for contemporary interiors.
Light & placement
Clusia Victoria thrives in bright indirect light - avoid direct sun, which overheats the water in the sphere and encourages algae growth.
- Exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade - avoid direct sun.
- Ideal: desk, shelf, bedside table, living room, or bright bathroom.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes.
Its compact size (H10 cm including stand) and distinctive silhouette make it the perfect decorative accent for a desk or small shelf - it takes up little space and immediately attracts attention.
Watering & care
The same principle applies as with all hydroponic plants in an open vase - keep the water level constant and refresh it regularly.
- Water level: keep the water at around 1/3 of the sphere's height - the roots should not be completely submerged.
- Renewal: change the water every 2 to 3 weeks with water at room temperature.
- Water type: filtered, rain, or tap water that has been left to stand for 24 hours.
- Fertilizer: add a few drops of highly diluted liquid fertilizer when changing the water, once a month.
- Cleaning: gently rinse the sphere and roots each time you change the water.
If the water turns green or cloudy, change it immediately and move the plant to a spot less exposed to direct light.
Decor ideas & pairings
Its glass sphere on a black metal stand is just as decorative empty as it is full - a living design object.
- On its own: place it alone on a desk or shelf - its spherical shape and black metal stand speak for themselves without needing anything else.
- As a composition: pair it with our hydroponic trio in bottles with wooden bases to create a hydroponic plant arrangement with varied containers.
- As a gift: its distinctive design and easy care make it one of the most original and memorable plant gifts in our catalogue.
Verdeia tips
- Do not fill the sphere completely - keep the water at approximately 1/3 of the height. The roots need an aerated zone above the water level to absorb oxygen. A completely filled sphere gradually suffocates the roots.
- Replace the water regularly - every 2 to 3 weeks, empty the sphere, rinse it and the roots with fresh water, then refill it. The small size of the sphere means it needs to be refreshed more frequently than a large vase.
- The roots turn brown over time - this is normal and harmless as long as the leaves remain healthy. Black, soft roots, however, indicate that the water is too stagnant: replace the water more frequently.
- Non-toxic - Clusia poses no risk to cats, dogs, or children, making it an ideal choice for homes with pets.

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?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
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 to 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.
