Learn to build a scaped moss wall terrarium
As the title implies I have demonstrated step by step the process to build a scaped moss wall terrarium from scratch.
I have used a 3 lit glass jar wit a transparent lid for the build. I fixed riverstones on one of the walls of the jar with silicone sealant. I left it for 3 days for curing and airing out. After that i prepared a paste with dry Sphagnum moss and aquasoil with water and build the wall around the stones. Next I attached moss on the wall and proceeded lay down a layer of terrarium substrate on top of a lava rock base layer. Next I went ahead with scaping and planting the terrarium in my own style which is self explanatory in the video. I also also added a colony of cleaning crew - Springtails at the end, watered the terrarium and closed it up.
Plants used:
Boston Compacta Fern
Selaginella Uncinata
Anubias nana
Pellionia repens
Ficus Pumila minima and regular
Small pieces of riverstones, pine bark, drift wood and sand used for detailing to create the scene
