The 'Micro Mega Terrarium' Part 2

If you look back a number of posts you'll realize, as I just did, that I posted photos of the start of this project but never updated it.

For full details check out the original post (Micro Mega Terrarium part 1).

To briefly recap, this terrarium is 3' x 2' x 3', just one foot shorter than the 'Mega Terrarium' but with the same footprint.  It has 2 closed fan systems and one 96 watt compact fluorescent light.  The misting system operates with the same pump and 3 x double misting heads.  The background is expanding spray foam covered with a mix of coconut peat (coir) mixed with crushed tree fern panels.

The initial planting was fairly sparse with the idea of having moss cover the walls and have various textured leaved plants around.  Almost every plant is green with the exception of some Begonias on the ground.

Over time the terrarium has filled in with moss and settled in nicely.  The faux rocks poke out from the moss and are great accents.  Trailing plants will fill in the bottom and I'll propagate more plants to fill it in lightly with time.

There's a great quantity of very small Pleurothallid alliance orchids sprawled throughout the plantable epiphytic space.  Blooms are frequent (albeit tiny) and it's fun to look for new flowering plants.

Well now I should admit that all these photos are now a few months old, they were taken a little while before I left.
