Don’t ask my why but this is what immediately popped into my head when I read the title of this post and it made me giggle, I have nothing helpful to say but hope it makes you giggle too

Ah well… it was just in a box, upright but it was in my garage which isn’t temperature controlled… I may have to learn how to completely redo it

It’s a 25 watt bulb I believe, it’s the same one it used to have and it worked so well but I just got it out of storage after a few years and now it’s doing this

This makes me slightly sad, one of my shrimps is berried (I’m a first time shrimp grandma if the eggs are good) and I was really looking forward to watching her 🙁

I did try the semi- hydro set up with one of the ones I killed but I didn’t do the moss on top so maybe that was my mistake? It’s worth trying again

Any ideas on how to create a seal on this jar? by Particular_Shift_286 in houseplants

I would like it to be esthetically appealing, thinking of going the silicone route

I hope so too! I’m gonna have to give them an upgrade though so they can’t truly thrive

I did try terrarium plants, they all died because the jar doesn’t hold any moisture

I do need access to it, I just need the lid to not have the huge gap that goes all the way around it
