Plants for waterfall terrarium

slaptastic
15 years ago

I have a wonderful waterfall terrarium. It has a foam/log/coco fiber background. The pump runs 24h and I have a decent light setup. It is 12w" x 12l" x 18h", and the waterfall falls about 6" from the top onto a log, splashing the entire enclosure. It has no soil at all.

I've learned over the past few months that not many plants like it in there. Right now I have a lot of locally collected moss (which is doing GREAT), a few orchids (I don't know which types) which seem to love it, some salaginella, and I'm trying to see if some of my ficus pumila will grow in a few dryer spots.

I'm wondering what plants (I would like ferns or bromeliads, if possible) will be able to survive the constantly wet conditions. There is a spot that would be perfect for a "larger" plant (6-8") but has been empty for a while since everything I put there starts to die.

I'm not a plant expert at all and could use some advise. Thanks!
