      Build your terrarium up from the bottom
      • 1. DrainageThe base of your terrarium is the drainage layer. this is a reservoir where extra water is safely stored, away from the plant roots.
      • 2. Sphagnum MossWe do love moss, so our twist on a substrate blocker layer is to use sphagnum moss instead of mesh. This acts as a sponge barrier between the drainage layer and soil layer.
