Everyone is so apprehensive about making planted vivariums because of maintenance, but really, it's super easy and amazingly fun to do! Add in springtails and isopods, and these insects will sustain themselves in your vivarium easily by leftovers, fungi, and mold naturally occurring in there. You also have to mist it every day or so depending on if you use a glass top and what your plants are, and empty out the excess water in the vivarium with a siphon or turkey baster every month or so. It's less than a minute of extra maintenance a day, and you can enjoy seeing some beautiful isopods (like Spanish Orange Isos!)
In fact, the hardest part about making a planted vivarium is making the hardscape and background, which you don't really need anyways. You'll probably need to take some extra care to make good molting spots, though.
I made a planted vivarium which I hope to house a mantid in soon. I hope I can post it shortly.
EDIT: Oh, and Sticky, if you put some crushed up leaf litter (and mantis food leftovers if you want to supplement) in those tanks, the Isopods will stop eating your moss.
