So I had a small tank I wanted to try something different with.. so I tried a fairy garden.. I think I am going to put my criptic's in it or my orchid.. but this is how it turned out... I think it looks pretty sweet...

Very cool.
I wish I took some pictures of some of the mini greenhouses I've done over the years. I did a neat Haloween fairy garden graveyard with a group of 6 to 10 (popa spruca) adult twigs, all in the spooky mini trees.

Is that the exo terra nano? I'm looking at getting a few for my mantids. Looks good!

So cute. I bet my mantisTinkerbell would have loved that cage.

Looks nice
I'm sure whatever ends living in there will be a happy camper
But if I can make a suggestion
I'd recommend tossing a few isopods like pill / sow bugs in there
They'll help keep it clean
i.e. eat the dead leaves that fall of the plant & left over feeder bug parts
&
Will help keep mold & mites & what not down

Be careful about those isopods though. They're very opportunistic and the terrarium doesn't supply food for them, they'll nibble your plants. They'd probably aim for your flowers first.
My orange porcellios are bugging me. They already ate my Sinningia pusilla plant (although those are very small plants) and ate two flower buds from my Sinningia muscipola.

Put some dry old leaves and rotting wood in there. They love that!

Just toss some veggie scrapes in with them
Like zucchini carrots lettuce etc & so on
Or
Even dead cricket to feed on
&
They should leave your plants alone
