This terrarium was built years ago. The main plants: pincushion moss and Paphiopedilum micranthum orchid. This is how it looks like when just finished. soon the Paphiopedilum micranthum orchid faded and it needs larger space to propagate new babies and I removed it out. This is how it changed year later. The photos are taken in late Dec, 2025. I put in two Philodendron Hederaceum Lemon Lime leaves and they grow. There are small ferns growing out, including som maiden hair fe

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. I will also provide step-by-step instructions, photos, and videos to guide you through the process.

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

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

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

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

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.
