Moss terrascape DIY

This video is about a Moss terrascape that I built using an interesting piece of driftwood, some moss and plants.
Prior to the build I boiled the driftwood in water to sterilise it and remove fungal spores if any on the wood. I used some superglue (hardscape glue) to attach the wood to 3 pieces of river stones that the wood stands on its own at a slight angle. I also attached some thin pieces of driftwood to the main wood to create some details. Next I prepared a paste by mixing aquasoil powder and Sphagnum moss with water. I applied the paste onto the cracks and crevices of the wood on which I proceeded to attach some Fissidens moss.I also used another Moss at the base the id of which is unknown to me. Next I attached some Anubias nana and Bolbitis Ferns to complete the scape. I took a rectangular glass jar and placed some lava rocks in it on which I carefully placed the moss terrascape. Finally misted the terrarium, added some springtails and closed it up.

    Hey man, awesome looking terrascape. I have just one question: Where do you put roots of the plants you have put in? I see you navigating stems around, but do you stick them into soil or something?

    Thank you. These are epiphytic plants. They will rot and die if you plant them rhizome deep in soil. They can grow epiphytically on the moss terracotta base inside the glass enclosure.

    I have two questions that 1. Why do we need to filter the fibers between soil and wood? - 2. Is there any options instead of fibers ( maybe cotton wool ? ) . Thanks a lot!

    It helps join uneven surfaces easily, quickly and firmly using superglue. You can use tissue or cotton wool. But synthetic fibers are better because they do not disintegrate easily in moist environments.

    Hi, how long do you boil wood? I tried boiling it for 5-6 minutes, but it developed some mould after a while.

  • @TheUrbanNemophilist

    @TheUrbanNemophilist

    2 жыл бұрын

    10-15 minutes. If the wood is well seasoned it should not develop mold that easily unless it is coming from other materials like gravel, soil or even the plants that are in contact with the wood inside the terrarium. However do bear in mind that small amounts of mold can be part of an ecosystem and should go away on its own once the system gets balanced and stabilised.
