# Hi everyone! I’ve recently started a new terrarium project and plant…

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently started a new terrarium project and plant to house a couple different carnivorous plants in it (tropical pitchers, sundews, and pinguiculas).

The tank is about 2.5 by 1 foot and 1.5 feet tall, cleaned it up, disinfected it, and rinsed multiple times with distilled water to make sure the plants will not get killed.

So far i have about two inches of drainage, and an inch and a half of perlite-sphagnum moss mix (i have more arriving tomorrow, plan to have a thicker layer than that). I also have some growing lights to be added on top for the plants since there is very little direct sunlight in that part of my room.

Through the process i’ve tried to find online resources but haven’t been as successful in finding some as i would like (especially concerning ventilation!), so any comment/tip/feedback is appreciated!

No tips here. Looks great and sounds like you took care of the important part: cleaning it enough to eat out of.
