sphagnum grows pretty quick once it gets going. Do you have any dried sphagnum?? I find it really takes off if you wet it and toss it in a ziplock bag and place it about 6-8 inches below a 2 tube fluorescent shop light. It should be fairly most but not sopping wet... I even have seen sphagnum sprout from some Canadian peat moss I had some cuttings in using this method.

Give it a couple months and something should grow.

One more question-How many plants should I get?
 
  • #47
However many can fit in there, that will fit comfortably for awhile....

How many plants you get will depend on how large the terrarium is, size the plants are when you get them, and how fast they grow, and how big they get.
There is no easy way to answer your question as it is really up to you.

Maybe make of list of the plants you would like to have and then evaluate that to determine if it is possible or not based on the size of your set up.

Some where arround here I have a 10/15ga ( maybe a little larger ) octagonal fish tank. If your near southern california, I could part with it (currently acting as home for spiders in lath house) at least I think I still have it. Used to have lots of old tanks arround. If your interested lmk I'l do an inventory of what tankage I have stowed about.
