I have my terrarium designed so that I can give water from the bottom (as you can see in the bottom right of the picture), I did this so that I do not get algae growth on top of the soil, or so i tought.
as you can see there are some brown/bronze algue like patches on top of the soil, and i was wondering if someone has any idea how to get rid of it and how to prevend it?
i was also going to place some seeds in there but im not sure if the algue would be harmfull to them.
and finally, I've heard that it is better to give water from the top instead of the bottom, in nature rain comes from above so it actually makes sense. but i was just wondering if its true that top watering is better as most people use the tray method. (just asking in case I have to change my terrarium to make the plants feel more at home)
