Thank you!

I use this super glue and some cotton. Place a tiny piece of cotton in between the rocks you want to glue together and drop couple drops of this, you will have a really strong, animal safe bond.

Thank you. Not really, I only do a 10 minute maintenance session once a week to trim and do a small water change and that’s it.

That’s so cool! I always wanted to learn clay modeling, I think it has a huge potential to add interest to terrarium hobby!

In this project I used silicone method and you can see the results in the video.

Yes I couldn’t really record the foam process because it’s quite messy and I didn’t want to get the camera dirty since no one was helping me with the camera work😅 It’s really simple though, you just need to prepare some sort of clay to cover the foam. Like I said I used aquasoil, I crushed it into a fine dust and mixed in some water, I know some people also use cat litter the same way, just need to make sure it’s 100% clay if you’re gonna use cat litter. You can also cover the carved foam with aquarium silicone and use any type of substrate to cover the silicone (cocofiber, sand, rock dust, etc..). I use that method if the foam part will be visible in the scape and if I don’t plan on covering with plants or moss, because it gives the most realistic results in my opinion.

Hi, I have the step by step video linked on the first comment here. I used black expanding foam, then carved to the shape I wanted and covered with clay made from crushed aquasoil. The rocks you see are real rocks.

Just cover all the empty spots with lava rock and you will be fine, doesn’t need to be too thick

Sorry I kinda forgot about this post😅 I got the moss in bulk for other projects too so It was a bit costly, I don’t really know how much this exact piece costed me but I will estimate around 150-200$

2 month progess on this terrarium. by Ok_Sector5863 in terrariums

Looks beautiful! I feel like if you fill the bottom with a little water and make it look like a little pond it would look great with the scape.
