I’m trying to do this with moss from my yard but INSECTS!!!! I’ve been searching around the web on how to remove them from the moss’ soil safely, but I can’t find any answers. I’ve only found that insecticides kill moss so I’m not sure what to do. And I don’t want to buy moss from the store because there’s an abundance at my own house.

I think the terrarium is pretty cool. I just made one with my boys as a Father’s Day gift, but just used rocks and dirt from our backyard. I sure hope it works out without the charcoal and sand. Hmmm. Thankfully we have a backyard full of moss. It’s lovely!

I love this idea, but do you bring insect into the house since the moss was from outside?

I’ve always wanted to make a terrarium. I everything I need but there was one thing I just thought of, what do you do when the plants get too big? Do you just break them up and maybe make another terrarium with them and on the story goes?

Look, I have made quite a few terreriums in my time and moss is an elusive creature(much like the fae that live in them). In my Bonsai learning when gathering moss, you are supposed to replicate the conditions EXACTLY from where it came from.ie scraggy bog, top of a dog’s tail, mom’s casserole,etc. have you tried(God forbid that I even utter the mere words)store bought moss. You may have more luck with getting it to survive and yes, even thrive, don’t ask me to explain why, but for some enGodly reason it does. Try it…what do you have to lose? I am sworn to secrecy, and sometimes even doctors have to take aspirin.lol. Let me know how grows it. You know you can even propigate moss by cutting the tops off and planting it. The spores will reproduce nicely, keep moist and not too cold. Make a toadstool from fimo,because real ones will decay and that’s ok in the wildwood, but in a terrarium, not so much. Bev
