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.

water-repellent spray on glass?

16 years ago

If I'm going to have a contained terrarium that ony had plants, would a water repellent spray on the glass be okay as long as I stayed above the soil line?

Any thoughts? I'm knew to this and am looking at making sure I set up the environment correctly.
