I bought a nerve plant the other day and put it in a terrarium. Just seeking some advice to make sure I have researched properly.

I had a nerve plant in my terrarium and it took over and smothered everything else. I should have pruned it more!

Oh really!!! Well mine is already quite big I put it in a Yankee candle jar because I read it’s dramatic with watering and works well. I don’t know where to get bigger jars from

I also have a silver nerve plant in a terrarium - it’s quite happy there, and requires basically no maintenance. 😄

#### Mya replied on 2023-07-30

How often do you take the lid off or mist? And what kind of sun?

#### Mads replied on 2023-08-02

Mine is under a grow light. I don’t mist it bc it has plenty of contained moisture. I take the lid off once a week or so.
