I have this terrarium and I love her so much! I’ve had for about a month and a half. She’s gotten big and the instructions say I can trim the leaves or I can repot her in a bigger terrarium. I can’t afford another terrarium right now and I don’t want to trim her leaves but I know she will grow back. Can anyone give me tips on trimming the leaves? I don’t want to kill her. And if anyone can tell me what plants are in them I’d be grateful aswell. I’ve been trying to find out what there are since I got them.. the internet says it’s a fittonia but I think it’s the one beside the big one.

    The small one with veined leaves is indeed a fittonia, the big one is a dracaena, and the rest is moss. For trimming the leaves, just sterilize some trimmers (scissors types work best for leaves) and cut as low on the petiole as you can without harming the main stem. The remaining material will dry up. That will either stay long term, fall off on its own, or eventually become easy to pull off by hand
