FINALLY here is the final revision and NEW terrarium of mine.
The old one I made apparently had schultz moss which contained fetilizer. I was away since 11 AM today morning....took buses, returned a 4 $ moss....then came back got the smallest bale of peat moss possible for less than 4 $. (I know...but I want little...not a big bale). Now the time is 5 PM after finishing everything.
Finally.....this time I took some drainage considerations and already it seems to be working well. Thanks to a member on the forum here seedjar or someone who advised me about it.
so here are pics:
OLD TERRARIUM....near a south facing window + a 13 watt white light bulb

NEW revisions:
Once again...removed everything in the aquarium. cleaned it with tap water. Then used FRESH perlite.
I took a risk with teh new plants this time. All highlighted in blue. They came packaged with some wet LFS. This time...I put them in a shallow pot with fresh rain water....removed all the LFS carefully....didn;t see big bulbs AT ALL...all I saw was black root fibers. I carefully then put it in the mixture and drew the mixture from the sides without pressing the plant. I did this for all the plants. SO I guess I'll know if it was a mistake in a few months
But I think confidently this time its done right.
. The moss bale had just too much crap ie., sticks in it. But nothing else.
Is it just me or spaghnum moss just looks like compost out of the bale.
anyways...I didn't waste the LFS. I cut some up in between my hands and put it around the empty spaces. I buried some...I left some intact.
so here are pics.
BTW...the corner plant is still in its walmart plant. I'll repot it after this winters dormancy.
Hopefully this time..its good.
cheers,
