You can place this terrarium under

2) Bright indirect light (i.e. within 1 metre away from window)
Pour 1 full spray bottle (50ml) every 2 days

3) Medium light (within 2-3 metres away from window)
Pour 1 full spray bottle (50ml) every 3 days

Notes:
– Distilled water or rain water contains no chemicals and is more suitable for moss than tap water
– You have to pour water onto the moss, spraying alone is not sufficient
– Soil should be lightly moist but not flooded
– If plants droop, pour some water and they’ll perk up
– Moss should always feel lightly moist to the touch and not dry and crispy
– Adjust according to weather conditions and temperature of location
e.g. during rainy periods, rate of evaporation is lower so decrease watering volume/frequency slightly.
e.g. if your window area is warm, rate of evaporation of higher so increase watering volume/frequency slightly

Slow release fertiliser (osmocote)
1/2 teaspoon per 2 stalks of plants

Notes:
Do not exceed as it will cause fertiliser burn

Low to high humidity are ok
Spraying is not a must
You can spray up to 3 times a day if you wish
Aircon environment is fine

1) WATER 

Moss are plants without roots which absorb water and nutrients via their leaves in the damp and shady environments they live in.


In the wild, they grow in green clumps.

Water moss with distilled water/rainwater instead of tap water as it can prevent mineral build-up which can kill the plants.

The tall plants (fittonia/pilea/fern/bubble plant) love wet environments, just like cushion moss, so they can be paired together in the same terrarium.


Pour 3/4 full of spray water onto moss every day to moisten soil and moss, and ensure moss always feel damp when you touch it.

You may also spray water onto moss regularly to keep it moist.

Ensure soil and moss are not soaking wet or drenched. If so, oxygen cannot flow through and the moss will die. When the moss dies, it turns brown like this:

If the moss turns brown, you may use a tweezer to replace the brown moss with new moss.

On days when you’re unable to water it for more than 2 days, e.g. when you go overseas, use a cling wrap to cover the opening, so moisture can be trapped inside:

The good news is that moss does not die immediately when it’s dry. Upon watering, it changes from pale green to a vibrant shade of green again. But try not to leave it dry for more than 2 days because once it dies and turns brown, it’s not possible to revive it.

2) LIGHT 
Place the mossarium under indirect sunlight e.g. next to a window, or within 6 inches under a grow light 2-5 hours a day.

   

Do not leave it under direct sunlight for too long as the glass can magnify the heat and dry up the moss.

3) REPRODUCTION

Moss reproduces via spores. Spore capsules will grow in a stalk. When ripen, the caps of the capsules open and spores are dispersed by wind.

4) PRUNING

Moss doesn’t grow tall very quickly. They very much remain at the same height so you don’t have to worry about pruning them.

The tall plants (fittonia/pilea/fern/bubble plant) does grow taller, so if they do, simply trim them using a pair of scissors. Cut away the top but ensure there are still leaves left on the stem.
