My First Homemade Terrarium I decided to give terrarium making a go and was hoping to get some feedback. Especially since I didn’t exactly follow the rules of terrarium making that I’ve seen. For my terrarium, I used an old pickle jar, thoroughly rinsed out. The substrate is decorative pebbles, chicken grit, and soil from my garden. My yard (Atlanta, GA) is a marshy forest so there was lots of moss to choose from. I chose two, what I believe to be pincushion moss and a feathery moss that might be a fern moss. As for plants, I roughly identified them as a creeping Jenny and lawnleaf. It had just rained so I didn’t add any water yet, waiting to see how it goes. I sealed the top with a lid before bringing it inside, seeing as I don’t know what exactly might be living in the moss. I’m hoping for some wild springtails but I haven’t seen any yet. I’m not looking for perfection, but I would love to have reassurance that my little ecosystem won’t die! Or suddenly start fermenting and explode! I’d love any thoughts, suggestions, or critiques! I’d also love to know if anyone has more tips on how to create terrariums on a tight (pretty much nonexistent) budget! Originally by u/Corvidaelia on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/29672p2s
