People have been asking about my terrariums a bunch, here's some pictures and basic descriptions of them.
This is my Semi-Closed terrarium (we call it the moss-a-rarium). It consists of wild-found moss, soil and river-rock. The fern inside is what's called a common fern, and was bought at Bachmans. This terrarium is semi-open because I open it every week or so to let air in (and look at it better).
This is my fully open terrarium, Inside is a layer of rock (for water drainage), then soil. The plant inside is a succulent, meaning it can handle lots of sun, heat, and doesn't need much water. I have introduced fern moss spores into this terrarium and they seem to be doing well.
Finally, this is the always-closed terrarium. Like the last two, it has a layer of rock for drainage, then soil, then fern moss. All the materials for this terrarium were gathered in the wild, and because of that we've had a few species of insects living in it for a while, as well as a few types of plants which i did not introduce into the terrarium. This one hasn't been opened in over 15 months - making it a total stable ecosystem.
