Carnivorous Plants Lava Rock Bog Terrarium idea

Updated: Aug 18


The plants:

pitcher plants,Peacock moss,creeping fig The moss: hypnum moss the rock: red lava


Where to put this tank: if you plant pitcher, please place it just beside the window, Pitcher plants need lots of sunlight. For reference, I place it by the window and turn on the light at night as a small night light.  If you plant fern, anywhere of the room will be ok.

How to water it: pour in water or spray water. There must be water in the bottom, the highest water level is below where the moss grows.  Moss can not live in water. 

The planting kit available on my website (www.ncyp.com).



How it is built:

Chek those moss. How theu grow on the lava rock. The water level is another thing you may need to pay attention to. Moss can not live in water so it must be above water. Creeping figs is not spreading crazily like it in a close terrarium.
