I’m finally doing it! I’m building my big terrarium this week. Supplies are ordered and some have already arrived. All this because I wanted a Verrucosum. 🤣 Any advice welcome from those who’ve built a “living wall” in a terrarium. I’ll be using expanding foam to attach cork bark to the back wall, with coco coir & sphagnum moss to fill in the gaps.
Ooh I’m following this post because this will be me once I’m in my new house! 🥰

Yeah… We’re going to need status updates on this! Can’t wait to see what you create! I’ve been wanting to make one, too 😁
いいね 1件 You should! I’ll definitely update!
いいね 1件I recommend sterilizing your sphagnum (pour boiling water into it, let it cool before using); I've had problems with my sphagnum molding. Be sure to do a drainage layer. Lots of people highly recommend springtails for mold prevention. And on a more fun note: live mosses, lichens, and micro orchids can all do well as companion plants. Fittonias and ferns also love terrarium life
いいね 1件 Thanks for the tip about sphagnum moss! I definitely want springtails in there… maybe also isopods!
いいね 1件 Ok step one - foundation for the background complete!
Progress photos!
Planted - we’ll see how it looks in the morning!
