He decided he was going to get what he needed and this stem growth is the result. If I make a terrarium, everything grows out of it in 6 months and I have to take them out. Does not matter. I am just having fun.

That is SO cool!

False vivapary. Pretty cool. Nice big plant on that flower stalk too.

one of the cooler looking false vivapary's i've seen of the very few i've seen!

tremors!

That's a nice terrarium, do you have a picture of the whole thing, how did you make it?

I reuse anything I think is worthwhile. It's a plastic pickel relish jar. The plants outgrew it in 6 months but it was fun to have on a table for winter.
I like that it's plastic. but you can probably find glass ones. It's lightweight and cheap. I have not fixed up another one yet but was thinking I would put bcp01 or Red Dragon in there because they grow smaller. I didn't keep the lid on it very much. You can use Driftwood or fish tank art in there too.
You can ask a local store that sells alot of hot dogs and uses relish if they would save you a few and they probably will. Thanks for asking

Nice, sand on bottom with peat on top layer? Is there holes in the bottom? how often do you have the top on?

It's a peat, sand and perlite mix and I added a top layer of sand as decoration. And 5 inches of sand at the bottom. No holes in the bottom.
What I tried to do was simulate a bog, with water down below the Fly Traps and Sundews about 4 to 6 inches. It is pretty humid in there without the lid. I don't have the lid on much because it fogs up and you can't see into it. The lid off has not been a issue but I have put it on a few times when it rained hard and I had it outside. I would caution you that if it is hot outside, they will bake inside with the lid on. But lid off I have not had a problem. I figure they need to breathe. I am sure you can use your discretion about when to have the lid on.
I would get all the soil wet but let it evaporate out until there is just a inch of water in the bottom. And I have to add water from time to time but not much. I think I am going to use it next for germinating seeds. Post a picture if you make one.
