Our plants
The term ‘lichen’ derives from the Greek λειχὴν (leikhḗn), meaning ‘parasitic plant.’ Today, more than 20,000 species are recorded across the globe: from rocks battered by sea spray to boreal forests, the Arctic tundra, and the dense jungles of the Amazon. They are capable of surviving the most extreme conditions, including cold, prolonged drought, and intense sunlight.
Formed by a subtle symbiosis of fungi and algae, lichens appear in a rich array of shapes and tones, casting mineral hues across stone and bark.
Their thalli form true micro-landscapes, evoking miniature baobab forests, trumpet-shaped podetia, and shrubs adorned with delicate spheres.

Our lichens come from the Swiss Alps, Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and Iceland. They have been carefully harvested and prepared by our specialist, Dr Mathias Vust, a renowned lichenologist.
We are delighted to present you the Cladonia Borealis variety.
These lichens are distinguished by their elegant, slender cup-shaped structures, topped with bright red spherical tips, resembling tiny fruits perched on grey stems.
Our lichens are highly resilient plants. They can be easily worn on the wrist and require very little care.
They enjoy light and sunlight in moderation, but also require shade.
The lifespan of our lichens ranges from 1 to 5 years, but they can last significantly longer depending on their environment.
Should you ever require a replacement, we will be pleased to assist you. Simply return your globe in the original gyroscopic container provided with your purchase.
