We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I’m sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.
FWIW we’re in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.
Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?
Would appreciate any advice :)
Okay that’s amazing. I’m not sure how big your terrarium but with the mention of logs and trees I’m picturing it with a little bench you can sit on whilst feeding the inevitable birds that will be attached to it’s glory.
It’d only a 20 gallon terrarium. It was my initial enclosure for my leopard gecko. After I upgraded in size for my gecko, I was planning to make it a bioactive herb garden. The isopods ate all the herbs but somehow the trees started growing. I just threw in some pothos and now it’s more of a jungle. I created a stand to raise the top mesh and grow lights so that the trees have a bit more space to grow.
The trees are just about a foot tall and I keep them trimmed to that height now. The biggest tree is forming bark around the base now and is about 5cm thick now.
I do wish I had some birds nesting in there, a little more biodiversity is always welcomed hahaha
