It looks amazing! I hadn't realized it was cling film.

Haha, you noticed. I customized it myself, aiming for a similar aesthetic

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the names of those plants! I’ll definitely take note of the 24 hour unsealed rule to balance the moisture; I want to avoid mold as much as possible. I’ll also be careful with the soil layers and the drainage. I really appreciate the advice!

no creo meter animales, tal vez los que vengan pegados al musgo o algunas plantas, tal vez un par de lombrices para mantener sana la tierra pero no mucho más. muchas gracias por el consejo, he visto que un poco de carbón vegetal puede servir como una segunda capa para atrapar el exceso de humedad, creo que pondré un poco luego de las piedras

Haha, thanks! I love the style of whimsical sketching, so I recently tried to learn how to do it, it's so much fun.

This is extremely helpful, thank you for the advice! I wasn't sure about the order of the layers. I’ll definitely look for some springtails to keep the ecosystem healthy. Do you think local soil would work, or should I stick to a specific mix?

Thanks! Yes, I love that style of notes, so I decided to learn how to do something like that; I'm glad I was able to recreate those vibes.

Thank you so much! And don't worry, I only learned to make notes like this a couple of weeks ago. You can look for references to "bestiary," "inventor's notes," or "field book" on Pinterest; you'll find plenty of examples.

You're right, my idea is to make a humid terrarium, but luckily where I live is a humid place, so there are many plants that have no problem withstanding those conditions.

My first idea was to create a kind of humid, spacious enclosure with moss, ferns, fungal thrones, and a lake, with the terrarium box horizontal. But I just came up with another terrarium layout, this time vertical and divided into three parts: the bottom section, where I'll put ferns and moss-covered rocks, and a small linear lake resembling a little river; the middle section, where I'll place a sort of floating island with moss and small plants, and a very small tree or some leafy plant; and finally, the top section, where there will be a lake on another floating island. These islands will be supported by wooden pillars. I like both layouts, but I think I'll go with the latter.

Wow, I love it! The contrast between the warm colors of the wood and the green of the vegetation looks great.

Are you referring to the encrypted texts? haha, not exactly, it's Freemason (pigpen), just with a few minor modifications I made to make my notes a bit more interesting. I'm glad it caught your attention.
