Building Stunning Moss Terrariums: A Step-by-Step Guide
Moss terrariums are a beautiful way to bring nature indoors. In this blog, I will share my experiences in creating moss walls, choosing the right plants, and maintaining their health.

Ficus Ginseng Moss Micro-Landscape: A Bonsai-Style Miniature Terrarium
The plant in the photo is a small bonsai-style Ficus ginseng, and the moss underneath is Leucobryum (pincushion moss). There are no other plants in this setup. This piece was created a few years ago, and it has stayed in good condition for a long time. Its maintenance is also very simple. I’ve posted the tutorial in the past—if you’re interested, please scroll down. Let’s begin with the plants. For pincushion moss, I’ve already introduced it thoroughly in previous posts (ple

Making a Mini Well with Moss and Fittonia— Super Easy Terrarium Project, Perfect for Beginners
Today’s project is very simple. As you can see in the photo, it’s basically a tiny water well. The “well” in the middle is actually a small geometric ceramic dish or bowl — originally meant for hamsters or other small pets to drink from. If you look closely, you can even see some traces of that. But it works perfectly as a miniature well. I happened to have this piece on hand, and the size was just right, so I used it. If you want to recreate this, you can upcycle things arou

Moss and Fern Island Terrarium
This is a portable, movable little moss island.As you can see in the photo, it looks beautiful. Let me first explain how it’s made, and then talk about its advantages. Materials you’ll need: driftwood (azalea roots), red clay, and a flat volcanic rock board. Tools: quick aquascape glue. Plants: Leucobryum moss (white hair moss), any small ferns, and a few begonia leaves. I used small Rabbit's-foot Fern, maidenhair fern, Fittonia, and Acorus—simply because these were what

Succulents in gold envelope Terrarium
When the Weather Cools, Succulents Shine As the days grow cooler, it’s the perfect season for succulents — they burst into color and look their very best. Recently, I built a series of succulent and cactus terrariums using my gold brass glass boxes (originally designed as wedding card boxes). These boxes are made of real brass and glass — over time, the brass naturally oxidizes, giving it a soft vintage patina that pairs beautifully with the muted tones of succulents. For dec

maiden hair fern and fittonia mini house shape terrarium
This is a mini sized vintage house shape terrarium with two triangle vents facing. My house shape one becomes popular and I am asked if it suits for jumping spiders.
