Soil Mix for Moss Terrarium?
| | |

| Hello!
I would like to get some suggestions for soil for my moss terrariums. Of course, I have my drainage layer and charcoal layer.
At present, the mixture I use for my moss is:
• Potting mix with a bit of coir mixed in
• 1" - 1/2" of coir on top
Does anyone have suggestions for other soil mixes?
Thank you!

In my 10 gal terr -- VERY wet boggy conditions, close to 100% humidity -- I have a carpet of moss growing on basically 100% peat moss. In my other 2 terrs, I have no soil -- just sphag over lava rock. I have volunteer mosses growing in both |
