small office terranium
to add a bit of greenery to my office. i embarked on a small project. i bought a small and simple aquarium with nice curved edges, an overhanging light and filled it up with some small pitcher plants and lots of mosses. then i decided to add a overhanging wall, and planted some orchids, moss and airplants on it. here is the result.... what do you guys think, or ??
here's the close-up of it thanks for viewing!! |

Re: small office terranium
thanks for your kind comments. it doesnt cost much to do this: aquarium and lights about 130-140. throw in some small plants and that's it. the wall is made from the usual roadside tree bark, the moss is given to me when my friends went to camerons and pluck them from the roadside. the orchids are small ones, given as well.
i mist them twice daily, there is no watering system but the terranium keeps the humidity well. the plants inside are: N merriliana x alata, N veitchii, N albomarginata, N truncata, N sanguinea, N ?viking x tiger, N macfarlanei. may add more depending on how well they grow. i feel that a bit more light will be better for the plants. |

Re: small office terranium
Great job! I think its going to get crowded in there, but very cool for now! The bark and the moss on the back wall is a nice touch and really helps make it look more 'natural'. ~

Re: small office terranium
It's a for me, but I do agree with Shawn that it is going to get crowded in there when the neps grow up. Until then it looks great Doc.!
