Recreate Natural Dutch Habitats Indoors

Build Indoor Micro-Ecosystems

Indoor Habitat Design

Transform your living space by recreating authentic Dutch ecosystems. Each habitat zone includes detailed guides for soil composition, humidity simulation, compatible plant groups, and natural color palettes.

Dune Plants Habitat

Recreate the coastal dune environment with sandy, well-draining soil and bright, indirect light. Perfect for plants adapted to windy, exposed conditions.

Soil Guide: Sandy mix with 70% sand, 20% organic matter, 10% perlite
Humidity & Light: Moderate humidity (40-50%), bright indirect light (6-8 hours)
Compatible Plants: Sea buckthorn, marram grass, beach pea
Color Palette: Soft beiges, pale greens, sandy browns

Coastal Marsh Vegetation

Simulate wetland conditions with high humidity and moisture-retentive soil. Ideal for plants that thrive in marshy, waterlogged environments.

Soil Guide: Peat-based mix with 60% peat, 30% loam, 10% sand
Humidity & Light: High humidity (70-85%), filtered light (4-6 hours)
Compatible Plants: Marsh marigold, sedges, water mint
Color Palette: Deep greens, rich browns, vibrant yellows

Forest Understory Plants

Create a shaded woodland atmosphere with rich, organic soil and dappled light conditions. Perfect for shade-loving native species.

Soil Guide: Rich organic mix with 50% leaf mold, 30% compost, 20% sand
Humidity & Light: High humidity (60-75%), low to medium light (2-4 hours)
Compatible Plants: Lady fern, wild ginger, wood sorrel
Color Palette: Deep forest greens, earthy browns, muted tones

Heathland Species

Replicate the open heathland environment with acidic, well-draining soil and bright light. Ideal for plants adapted to nutrient-poor conditions.

Soil Guide: Acidic mix with 60% ericaceous compost, 30% sand, 10% perlite
Humidity & Light: Moderate humidity (40-55%), bright light (6-8 hours)
Compatible Plants: Heather, gorse, bilberry
Color Palette: Purples, pinks, muted greens, golden tones
