Conducting maintenance and restoring the aesthetics of the moss wall terrarium after 8 months

Conducting maintenance and restoring the aesthetics of the moss wall terrarium after 8 months.

The moss wall terrarium with aquatic plants has completed 8 months. The spike moss has grown so much that the moss wall can hardly be seen. You guys know that I am all in for aesthetics and unlike the normal school of thought of leaving a terrarium to do its own thing, I quite often go ahead and try to restore or elevate the aesthetics of the terrarium if I do not like the overgrown look. That is exactly what I did on this terrarium. I went ahead and conducted my usual maintenance routine of cleaning the glass and trimming the moss and plants. I took my time with this process. The driftwood also made the work a bit challenging in getting around to the plants. next I added some new plants and moss to elevate the overall look and aesthetics of the terrarium. I added Fissidens moss, a mini Bolbitis Fern, some Sphagnum moss, small Selaginella cuttings, one more Anubias and a Hydrocotyle tripartita mini (not captured in the video). I also added some moss to the foreground. During the process I also drained the excess water collected at the bottom of the terrarium. Next I misted the terrarium, added Springtails and closed it up.
