Terrarium for Helis

[marvin1997]

The lowest layer is......I forgot what sand is that.Washed and sieved.The next one is fine sand.Washed and...not sieved because I tried it and it just"dissapeared".The next very thin layer is some pebbles.Washed.Then it's SM.

THe lowest layer is foundation sand.And I mist it twice a day."The Savage Garden"says it can lower the temperature and make the air circulate.

Those Helis are very well developed plants. Say, whats that Nep in the bottom right corner?

Yup...supposed to be 'No need to water for a few months'But I think I sprayed too much water..Foundation soil, then peat then sphagnum moss

[jeff]

your terra was closed ? have you a air circulation inside ?

foundation soil = sand ?

your heliamphora was always in pot ?


I think the sand was not necessary , just for the deco then.


you put your heliamphora with the pot in your terra , you fit out with sphagnum alive or died around the pot( to keep a good hygrometry), you fill the pitcher with rain water , you spray .

and you wait for that your terra condition is right , no spray just fill the pitcher when there are no water inside .


perhaps have you make this method ?
