Learn to build a scaped moss wall terrarium As the title implies I have demonstrated step by step the process to build a scaped moss wall terrarium from scratch. I have used a 3 lit glass jar wit a transparent lid for the build. I fixed riverstones on one of the walls of the jar with silicone sealant. I left it for 3 days for curing and airing out. After that i prepared a paste with dry Sphagnum moss and aquasoil with water and build the wall around the stones. Next I attached moss on the wall and proceeded lay down a layer of terrarium substrate on top of a lava rock base layer. Next I went ahead with scaping and planting the terrarium in my own style which is self explanatory in the video. I also also added a colony of cleaning crew - Springtails at the end, watered the terrarium and closed it up.
