How to build an inspiring closed terrarium ecosystem in a DIY glass enclosure

I used a DIY glass prism enclosure/container for this build. I made this enclosure myself using glass and silicone. You can find a couple videos on this channel on how to build these type of terrarium enclosures. Check out the links below:

I used crushed lava rocks to create a drainage layer followed by a filtration layer for which I used activated carbon.
I used a piece of driftwood I had for the main hardscape. It was placed at an angle inside the enclosure.
I poured in my terrarium substrate mix and modeled the soil towards the back in the form of a slope. Here is a link to my terrarium soil mix video:

I planted a Fern Montana and a Mini Bolbitis in the background and proceeded to create a more detailed hardscape with another piece of wood and river stones.
I proceeded to create a ground cover with Hypnum/ Sheet moss and continued with the planting for which I used the following plants:
Fittonia Green
Pellionia Repens
Selaginella Uncinata
Marcgravia Umbellata
Ficus Quercifolia
Selaginella Erythropus
Ficus Pumila Minima

I added some tiny twigs/branches in the foreground for some more detailing and gave the terrarium a thorough misting.
Finally I dropped in some springtails for mold control and closed the door of the enclosure to allow the ecosystem to do its own thing.

Thanks for watching!
