Paludarium Workshop in Singapore
Join a hands-on paludarium workshop in Singapore and build your own land and water ecosystem using open, covered, or enclosure-style systems — combining structure, planting, and flowing water into a balanced natural environment.
What You’ll Create
A dual-environment ecosystem combining land and water
Create your own paludarium using an open, covered, or enclosure-style system — combining planted land sections, natural hardscape, and flowing water into a balanced ecosystem designed to evolve over time.
What You’ll Do
A guided build from water base to final ecosystem
You’ll build your paludarium step-by-step, starting from the water system, shaping the land structure, and finishing with planting and balancing the full setup.
Build the Base / Water Foundation
Setting up the water system and base structure
Begin with the base of the paludarium, including the water section, pump system, and river bank structure that forms the foundation of the ecosystem.
Build the Land / Structure and Planting
Developing the terrain and planting zones
Build up the land section using substrate and moss, shaping the terrain to create a natural transition between land and water.
Refine & Balance / Final Ecosystem
Completing the system and balancing environment
Adjust planting, water flow, and layout to complete a stable and visually balanced paludarium.

Build Process
Each paludarium is built progressively during the workshop session, starting from the water foundation and terrain structure before developing the planted ecosystem and final layout balance.
Selected builds may be prepared in advance to streamline setup complexity and reduce structural curing time.
System Setup
Select how your paludarium operates — from a natural planted setup to a fully equipped system with lighting, fogging, and misting for controlled environments.

OPEN Paludarium Tank Styles
Two different viewing styles for open paludarium layouts
Choose between a tapered-side or full-glass-side open paludarium design, each offering a different viewing experience while supporting the same ecosystem-building approach.
Tapered Side Design
Angled side profile · Focused viewing composition
Designed with inward-tapered side panels that naturally frame the landscape and guide attention toward the ecosystem layout. Suitable for compact and structured open paludarium builds.
Available Sizes:
- 30 × 30 × 30cm
- 45 × 30 × 30cm
- 60 × 30 × 36cm
Full Glass Side Design
Clear side visibility · Open panoramic viewing
Built with full transparent side panels for wider viewing angles and a more open landscape presentation. Suitable for showcasing extended riverbanks, wood structures, and broader ecosystem layouts.
Available Sizes:
- 30 × 30 × 30cm
- 45 × 30 × 30cm
- 60 × 30 × 36cm
COVERED Tank Sizes
Choose your preferred covered paludarium size based on the scale, planting density, and ecosystem complexity you would like to create. All options include the guided build process, structural setup, and core ecosystem materials.
30 × 30 × 30cm
Compact · Balanced · Beginner-Friendly
A smaller covered setup designed for first-time builders, offering a manageable ecosystem layout with a balanced land and water composition.
$350.00
45 × 27 × 30cm
Expanded · Naturalistic · Versatile
A wider format that allows for longer riverbank layouts, more planting flexibility, and stronger separation between land and water zones.
$450.00
60 × 30 × 36cm
Large Format · Structured · Display Build
A larger ecosystem build with extended terrain possibilities, deeper structure, and increased planting detail for a more immersive paludarium layout.
$600.00
