My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Soil Mix for Moss Terrarium?

17 years ago

Hello!

I would like to get some suggestions for soil for my moss terrariums. Of course, I have my drainage layer and charcoal layer.

At present, the mixture I use for my moss is:

 Potting mix with a bit of coir mixed in

 1" - 1/2" of coir on top

Does anyone have suggestions for other soil mixes?

Thank you!

Jeff
