EvolutionZ's 1st pico terraium.

[EvolutionZ]

hi guys. 2 days ago bought a pot of cute plant from a LFS. it looked like Fittonia sp. a terrestrial plant. but i got a friend who manage to grow it in water.. bought it, went back home then found out that his melted 2 weeks after planted in tank.

so i decided not to waste my money.. ended up getting a old milo glass container..

initially, just put some lapis sand and leftover tetra base fert in a plastic tub.. but found it quite ulgy.. so searched my kitchen and i found a nice milo glass "tank"!


ferts and sand transfered..


plants are in.. the plants are : fittonia sp, nana petite, taiwan moss and 2 stalks of baby crypts..






it will recieve about 2 hours of direct sunlight(is that too much?) and the rest of the day indirect sunlight.. i not very sure if they will grow though..

Hi,

The way you plant your pico terrarium reminds me of a crypt collector's blog.
http://illumbomb.blogspot.com/ I like the Fittonia sp, it's a really beautiful plant. Let me see if I can create something similar to yours unless you have some sort of copyright for it.
