Help planting


Hello all- I’ve had my terrarium set up for about 2 months now and I don’t know what to plant in it- right now I have pathos (although most of the leaves you can see in the photo are for leave litter from my house plants). Baby tears (which are not thriving with the bright light) and Pilea plants which make up most of the ground cover and are doing well. but it’s definitely missing the amazing greenery of the ones I see in here. The problem is I tend to kill everything plant wise I try to put in there- even the most basic plants. The humidity is 70-90% it’s auto-misted once a day and the jungle dawn is on for 6 hours a day. The temp is 70’s and there is an established clean up crew.

  1. My Chinese Evergreen, Rattlesnake Calathea, and rubber fig plant are thriving. My Croton is doing well too. I didn’t have luck with Baby Tears. Also try pinning some bromeliads to the background. Pothos, always does great. Maybe get a bigger one. You might be misting too much and it could be getting too damp. Root rot 😭I mist once daily for like 5 seconds the mist is VERY fine. I let the humidity drop to 50. Gotta let it dry out
