I was up early, and caught the thermometer reading 62 degrees. Success! All of the plants I moved into the terra. are doing very well and are plumping up. The humidity is still hovering between 85 and 95 percent.
I got some water lettuce, and I put it in the bottom of terra., for now. It looks nice.
Yep, those photos are already outdated. The D. sulcatum is still in the same spot, but I added a way-too-large D. obtusepalum and a piece of a NOID nobile Dendro to the back. I need to give it a pot soon-ish.
I got a huge batch of various Sphagnum species from a friend yesterday. I made little shelves in the terrarium and stuck the moss on top. I'll have to swap the light fixtures to a better flood so that the light gets spread better, and it goes onto the moss. Here are some favorites.
Any mossy-thing experts? There are two strands of this green ribbon. Any clue what it is? I'd love to cultivate it and make more.

This post was made the day after I lost my dear husband and soul companion. I was still in shock, and did not mention this at all in the post. Read up some here here: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?132786-Very-sad-day The plants will start to suffer as I struggle to retain sanity and some semblance of control.
Unable to afford even the gas to get to the hardware store, I used what was on hand when the flood light burned out, a CFL. For anyone that wants to know if a CFL will work: It won't. Trust me.
Conditions must be ideal for the moss to look that nice. And I'm not sure about anyone else, but that kaleidoscopic wrapping paper makes me feel like I'm trapped in a time warp.
