I like to create a focal point in the space using a moss covered stick and a few rocks. Spike moss is a great terrarium plant to add

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea, I will try it out.

Believe I used some charcoal powder in the soil too when I made mine a few years back - it’s still alive so did sth right there tho it could do with some pruning that I have no idea how to implement
