Moss

There are several types of moss commonly used in terrariums, each offering unique characteristics in terms of texture, color, and growth. Here are some of the most popular mosses for terrariums:

Most common ones:

1. Sphagnum Moss: This moss is known for its ability to retain moisture and is often used as a top layer in terrariums to help maintain an optimal level of humidity for plants.

2. Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri): This aquatic moss is often used in humid terrariums or paludariums. It can be grown emerged or submerged and provides dense, lush coverage.

It's important to choose the appropriate moss based on the specific needs of your terrarium, including the humidity level, desired aesthetics, and types of plants you want to grow.
