What we do

Terrariums

Closed glass worlds of moss, fern and stone that water themselves.

Paludariums

Land and water in one tank, with pumps, mist and planted rock walls.

Vivarium

Planted, climate-controlled enclosures built for animals to live in.

Custom builds

Designed around your space, light and the size of your patience.

Maintenance

Scheduled visits so your build keeps growing instead of drying out.

Why Raw Aqua

Nursery-grown plants, hand-cut glass, real aftercare.

Ethically sourced

Moss and plants come from nurseries and our own grow trays — never lifted from forests.

Built to last

Low-iron glass, sealed silicone joints and drainage layers that stop root rot.

Care that continues

A care sheet with every build, plus maintenance plans and WhatsApp help when something looks off.

“Six months in and it still looks better every week. They set the light up so it reads true in a dark corner.”

Meera S., Bengaluru

“The paludarium in our lobby is the first thing every visitor comments on. Maintenance is entirely handled.”

Arjun K., studio owner

A terrarium is primarily a planted land environment enclosed in glass. A paludarium combines land and water, often with features such as flowing water or planted rockwork. A vivarium is a planted enclosure designed to support suitable animals as well as plants.
