    campanulata quasi bonsai project aka "into the crevasse"

    This has been an inspiration and gave me ideas as to how to go about hanging the mosses on the sides of my terrarium. But I did have some questions as to the live moss though.

    Carnivorous Terrarium: Leaves turning red

    Just an update for anyone considering grow lights, all the Neps whose leaves are turning red or have already turned completely red have been growing healthy with new buds. And the small buds when the leaves were green have grown bigger too. I realized that the leaves turned red due to excess...

    Carnivorous Terrarium: Leaves turning red

    Tanukimo and Grey Moss: I live in Texas and it's not gonna get significantly colder here, hence the terrarium. But I was gonna wait till October end before preparing the conditions for dormancy for the flytraps. Is that not okay? I apologize for not posting pics under normal lighting, will get...
