Velvet Night Terrarium DIY Kit - Mini Midnight Garden
The Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy, Anthurium Queen of Hearts, and Begonia Maculata can all be found in our Velvet Night Terrarium DIY Kit. Carefully chosen for their looks and vibes, these plants are raring to make their terrarium debut with you.
Plant Personality & Aesthetic Appeal
This trio creates layered contrast. How? Well, the Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy offers deep, near-black heart-shaped leaves with silvery veins and a plush matte surface. The Anthurium Queen of Hearts contributes glossy, sculptural, heart-shaped leaves with striking pale veining and upright presence. The Begonia Maculata supplies a playful underside of crimson and olive green tops dotted with pearl-white spots.
Growth Habit & Size Potential
All three species remain compact when grown in confined terrarium environments. Expect mature terrarium heights of roughly 10 to 30cm, depending on container size and pruning. Calathea produces short upright stems and stays compact when root-bound. Begonia Maculata forms a low clump with occasional vertical shoots. Anthurium will send occasional taller petiole(s) but remains manageable. Growth rate is moderate under optimal humidity and filtered light. Do plan for periodic trimming (every 4 to 12 weeks) to maintain scale.
Light & Location Needs
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can burn delicate foliage inside glass. These plants tolerate moderate interior light but will stretch and lose contrast if consistently dim; increase brightness gradually if moving outdoors during warm months. Closed terrariums moderate humidity and light, so place them on well-lit shelves away from heat sources and drafty doors. Terrariums are not suitable for long-term exposure to full sun or freezing temperatures.
Care Level & Maintenance Tips
Gravel, rinse, repeat (or something like it!). Use a light, airy potting mix with a drainage layer of pebbles or activated charcoal to reduce odors. Keep substrate evenly moist but not waterlogged. You can check the top layer for slight dryness before misting. It may also be best to ventilate the terrarium weekly to prevent fungal issues. Pinch new growth to maintain scale and remove yellowing leaves promptly. Since terrariums come in fragile jars, do keep away from pet and children.
Velvet Night Terrarium DIY Kit: All is Calm, All is Bright
Assembling and tending a Velvet Night terrarium has as many, if not equal to, benefits than tending a garden. Especially in smaller spaces like apartments and offices, the feel of them can be quite stuffy. An addition to color, especially greenery, can lift more than just the decorative appeal. Caring for terrariums provides a sense of calm and mindfulness. Cabin fever? Nip that in the bud right now. Pun totally intended.

Engaging Read for Beginners and Techies Alike
Format: Paperback
An engaging and accessible exploration of how computers really work. The author breaks down complex concepts into simple, relatable explanations, making topics like binary, logic gates, and basic circuits far less intimidating. For newcomers, it’s a great way to build a foundational understanding of computer theory with just a touch of electrical engineering.
As someone with a technical background, I still found it entertaining; the examples and analogies added fresh ways to frame ideas I already knew. It’s the kind of book that can bridge the gap between “I use computers” and “I understand what’s happening under the hood.”
Highly recommended for anyone curious about what makes hardware and software tick, whether you’re starting from scratch or just want a new perspective.

CODE is the book you should get.
Format: Paperback
The best book to enter the field. Grateful that Charles Petzold decided to write it, even happier this was one of the first books I picked up.
Recommend to everyone wanting to become a programmer, or just interested in computers.

If you only buy one technical computer book, this is it
Format: Paperback
Disclaimer: I owned the first edition for years and read it a dozen times, mainly for pleasure since it’s not only informative but also just enjoyable to read. I’m a professional software architect and have dozens of textbooks on computer science and engineering so I’ve been around the block.
This is the kind of book I would buy all for all my friends (if I had more than a couple) and family members (if they were even slightly into computers, which they aren’t sadly). Petzold does an exceptional job at describing digital logic and guides you through building a conceptual CPU from very first principles.
I think his bottom up approach is the way to go and has helped me understand complex topics in an extremely simple way. When I’m not reading fiction, this is my go to bedtime reading.
The second edition has about 100 more pages than the first and some content has been completely reworked and it’s great.
If you ever had even a passing interest in knowing how computers work at a very fundamental level, get this book!

First programmer?
Format: Paperback
As an ardent reader of the past 1st edition, I was fairly excited to get the latest version. That is, until I encountered the history chapter of the new edition.
For one thing, what I do NOT understand in this second edition is the newly added description of August Ada Byron (countless of Lovelace). The author claims it was Babbage who was the first programmer to design the engines, not Ada. I am not trying to start a futile argument here about who has more or fewer contributions, etc.
What I am trying to assert here is that it is undisputed that Ada (unless the new evidence arises) left *the very first demonstration* of what this seemingly imaginary machine, which didn't even physically exist, was capable of through her program. Because Babbage designed the engine itself, that doesn't automatically put him in the position of a programmer (despite Babbage being a brilliant engineer/scientist and may have had a simple or detailed program in his mind). However, it was Ada who gave a definite touch to programming concepts that ultimately led to modern-day programming. Ada deserves more recognition than a mere "tutorial writer," and she is certainly entitled to the title she deserves.
Other than that, like the previous edition, this book is a must-read for people who are from related/unrelated fields. I always loved the 1st edition, and I would do too with the 2nd. Still, I think history should always be approached with more care, particularly if matters have potential controversies.
