Terrarium

1- To set up the terrarium technically, you will need :

• A terrarium > can be found in any petshop or you can recycle an old aquarium by adding a piece of glass on the top.
• Clay balls > to cover the terrarium floor (1st layer).
• A piece of polystyren > glue the openwork plants' pots on it. We used a glue gun to do so.
• Plants > Choose dwarf plants, they won't grow too much (ask when you buy it). Examples : Fittonia sp, Syngonium sp, Pilea cadierei Sil, Nephrolepsis sp, Ficus pumila sp.
• A piece of filter tissue > to cover clay balls and a part of the polystyren and pots (2nd layer).
• Soil > This is the 3rd layer. Find a a kind of soil made from sphagnum moss. A soil with a little bit acidity (here PH 4.8) encourages plants growth.
• Moss to clover everything (4th layer).
