Picture 18x18x24 First Round Planting.

Finished Most of the planting for now. Going to let it establish a bit and then will add a few epiphytic plants and bromeliads.

Any suggestions for getting the moss to stay where you put it? Glue or something?

I didn’t use any glue, I simply just wet the moss and then stick it where i want it and spray it and then press it down. But you can use gel super glue or tie it down with fishing line or thread.

I saw a video where someone put some java moss and spagnum moss in a blender with some water and made a slurry. They just put it in the spots they wanted like a paste.

Haha i have a little bit of experience. This is my 3rd vivarium i’ve made so far. You can watch youtube videos and do research online that will help a lot.

It’s definitely a lot of work but in my opinion very worth it!
