If you love LEGO Botanicals and calm, nature-inspired builds, the LEGO Ideas Cactus Terrariums project is one to watch. Created by @44th_brick (Matus Mar), the fan designer behind the popular Botanical Terrariums project currently under LEGO review, this new design turns desert plants into elegant, display-ready brick art.
Each terrarium shows off a different cactus personality, from round and flowering to tall and sculptural. The earthy tones and smooth glass-like domes make it look like something you’d find in a modern art gallery rather than a LEGO shelf.
The project has already reached 7k supporters on LEGO Ideas, bringing it even closer to the 10K milestone needed for official LEGO review. It’s another win for the growing LEGO Botanicals fan community and a reminder of how creative builders can turn nature into stunning brick displays.

What Are LEGO Cactus Terrariums?
The LEGO Ideas Cactus Terrariums project captures the calm beauty of desert plants in a stylish, brick-built display. It features three unique cactus builds, each with its own shape and personality. One is round and flowering, another tall and minimal, and the third spiky and bold. Together, they look like a living sculpture that brings desert charm to any LEGO collection.
Each cactus sits inside a clear half-globe that mimics glass, resting on a wood-style base with golden accents. The design balances earthy colors with refined details, making it look both natural and high-end. It feels perfectly at home next to LEGO Botanicals sets like the Succulents (10309) or Tiny Plants (10329).
According to 44th_brick, the goal was to create a piece that feels peaceful to build and beautiful to display. It’s a small project with big design energy, turning simple shapes into something that feels calming and timeless.
About the Creator
The LEGO Cactus Terrariums project was designed by @44th_brick (Matus Mar), a LEGO fan designer from Slovakia known for turning nature into creative, display-worthy builds. His work blends design and mindfulness, giving each creation a calm, modern aesthetic that fits perfectly with the LEGO Botanicals theme.
Matus first gained attention with his Botanical Terrariums project, which reached 10K supporters earlier this year and is now under review by the LEGO Ideas team. That build introduced a relaxing, nature-inspired concept that resonated with adult builders who love both plants and clean design.
With over 10K supporters on one project and more than 7K on his latest, Matus has become one of the most recognized names in the LEGO Botanicals community. His designs keep proving that LEGO can be both artistic and soothing, one brick at a time.
Why Botanical Fans Will Love This Set
For fans of the LEGO Botanical Collection, the Cactus Terrariums feel like a natural extension of the theme. They capture the same calm, artistic energy as sets like the Succulents (10309) and Tiny Plants (10329) but with a desert twist. Each build adds texture, contrast, and a different kind of beauty that complements the softer floral sets.
The set’s earthy tones and sleek domes make it perfect for display in small spaces. It’s an ideal pick for anyone who loves decorating with LEGO plants but prefers something minimalist and modern. No watering required, no fading colors, just clean design that stays timeless.
Beyond looks, the Cactus Terrariums also deliver a relaxing building experience. The repetitive shapes and smooth lines make it a peaceful project for builders who enjoy slow, mindful building sessions. It’s a creative break that ends with something beautiful to show off.
