    The red bean sprout plant is the spore packs of the star moss, the green 'head' contains all the spores inside.

    I think that if you bring these in from the US, when you have the terrarium, it should be in a rather cool and humid environment.

    Re: Trying Terrarium Jar , can i import these moss & lichen?

    If you intend to bring these in from the US, you might not get past Customs. Any plant that has soil on it on the roots or anything else, will not clear Customs. The AVA has a strict view on importation of plants and related materials from overseas locations into Singapore. Read here for more:

    http://www.ava.gov.sg/InformationFor...ants/index.htm

    It would be best to contact AVA directly regarding the plants/lichen that you intend to import from the US. I think it would be much easier if you go to a plant nursery and ask them if they can bring these in for you, at a reasonable price.

    I found this piece of info that you might want to look into:

    What should I do when a consignment of plants/seeds arrive through parcel post?

    When a consignment of plants/seeds arrive through parcel post, Singapore Post (SP) will inform you of the arrival of the parcel and send the parcel to Plant Regulatory Branch/Plant Health Section, AVA, for post entry inspection, prior to approval. The post entry inspection of the parcel is conducted in your pressence. You will need to provide the necessary information as stipulated in the form "Application For The Import Approval Through Parcel Post" and submit the invoice and phytosanitary certificate to our officers. If the inspection is satisfactory and the documents are in order, you will need to make payment for the import permit, which would cost $11, either by NETS or Cashcard before the parcel can be released to you.
    From the AVA website under FAQ for Plants.

    just wondering what layers of substrate do you have? drainage pebbles, charcoal and indoor potting soil?

    Cool scaping. I like the the way the moss is like a "tree" and the correct size to rocks to complment the flora. Great Job!

    Re: Trying Terrarium Jar , can i import these moss & lichen?

    a few river stones + small rock chips to absorb moisture
    didnt add charcoal as not sealing it, not expecting odour
    add own mix of soil

    close up .. the tiniest rock chip is in between the tree and the big rock
    suppose to act as the furthest mountain
