EvolutionZ's 1st pico terraium.
hi guys. 2 days ago bought a pot of cute plant from a LFS. it looked like Fittonia sp. a terrestrial plant. but i got a friend who manage to grow it in water.. bought it, went back home then found out that his melted 2 weeks after planted in tank.
so i decided not to waste my money.. ended up getting a old milo glass container.. initially, just put some lapis sand and leftover tetra base fert in a plastic tub.. but found it quite ulgy.. so searched my kitchen and i found a nice milo glass "tank"! ferts and sand transfered.. plants are in.. the plants are : fittonia sp, nana petite, taiwan moss and 2 stalks of baby crypts.. \ |

Think the leaf will eventually grow too big for the jar!

Hey what a coincidence bro, my wife made one of these a week ago. It tends to fog though because of the moisture inside.
