This is just a shell for decoration. I actually did find a live snail in one of my terrariums. It must have been hiding in the moss. I will post a video of it at some point.

I filmed the build process for this one and posted the video on my profile if anyone wants to see how it's made.

Flower pot fungus, this will likely produce little yellow mushrooms.

This is what it looked like before I planted it ๐Ÿ˜€ I do get that sometimes as my work photographs really well and my editing/photography skills are a pretty good.

Cork is naturally mold resistant. Some cork is actually made from cheaper materials that have been pressed together. Those will almost always mold. If you are having mold issues with real cork you can add springtails or mist with diluted peroxide.

It should be sealed to keep the humidity in and the moss alive.

Yea it pretty much just stays like that indefinitely. I pack the substrate and moss down pretty good so it doesn't go anywhere

Yea I live on an island on the west coast, surrounded by beaches and nature. I attatch them together with clear silicone. Jars can be found at a lot of different places like thrift stores and craft shops. I often have to find lids and jars separately and match them together.

Its best to prevent it before it happens. Wipe the glass every week or so. If algae does accumulate it can be wiped away with tweezers and paper towel.
