Cool moss terraria! Where do the bits come from? Do you just add a buddha and a few fistful of nature and call it good? Do you seal it and leave it, or does it need opening/watering/fungiciding/???

Karate Bastard posted:Cool moss terraria! I get all the glass secondhand from a thriftstore for $1-$5 each, same as a lot of the random ornaments like buddhas and other "centerpiece"' stuff I might use someday. I have two boxes of cushion and fern moss which is not easy to find here natively, the rest I collect from roadsides and forests in small amounts; once you know what you're looking for it's literally everywhere. You have to make sure your base layers are done properly but other than that yeah, it's extremely easy to make and some plants are pretty much indestructible in this environment (pepperomias, creeping figs, any ferns, asparagus, fittonias, etc). The oldest one I have is now 1.5 years old and has been opened once for a re-misting and trim down the plant, otherwise they're zero maintenance other than maybe for easthetic reasons. All of them have springtails in them, and they love nothing more than eating fungus and rotting material so it self-regulates. On wood you can sometimes get permanent mould colonies but they don't cause any harm to the plantlife, and if you really don't like them you can dab them with peroxide. Unsealed ones are less prone to fungus issues but obviously need misting almost daily, and you're gonna want something to deal with Sciara gnats in some way because those tiny flies love moist soil and it can get out of hand fast. Plus sometimes you get weird fungus colonies like this, and who could get rid of this happy fellow?

Bald Stalin posted:What's the go to single online resource for learning how to do this? There's not that much to it other than the basic build layers and knowing which plants work, terrariumtribe is a solid resource and has some good DIY guides that cover the basics, including base layers: https://terrariumtribe.com/diy-terrarium-guide/. A pure moss terrarium (without any other "regular" plants) is even easier as you don't even need potting soil. Any online or brick&mortar pet shop that does reptiles and/or fish will get you set up with all the basic materials too like coco fiber, dried spaghnum, and rocks/wood for your hardscape, even springtail bugs since they are bred as feeders for tiny frogs.

The big log terrarium has no joke at least 30 common isopods of at least 3 native species, and they're the jerks that grazed everything to the ground, hence the need for a natural predator. Did you know isopods live to like 3 years? Also those bred isopods are like €30 a pop, which is a lot of money to spend on bugs.

Thirding, if only to learn such things as "how much sunlight do they need", or "do I need a special light bulb"?

There will be a goon rush and hundreds of goons will make them. about 10 will still be keeping them with a few dozen more just posting a few months in. Then after several months some people will come back having completely forgotten about the thread and only remember it when finding their terrarium again and posting the horrors that happened in complete neglect.

Fishstick posted:The air (especially in moss jars, which is humid air) will heat up from direct sunlight and hot, expanding air doesn't like closed containers. Best case scenario the cork/lid gets popped, worst case scenario the glass cracks after the heat turns your plants into porridge. Until I posted, I thought hermetically sealed meant nothing got in or out, air, water, heat, gravity, time. Then I looked it up. Your jars are really cool.
