Terrariums Update

 Yo! So in my first post, I showed you guys some terrariums that were a little less than a month old. In this post I'm just going to give an update on my strawberry/sedum terrarium, and my english ivy terrarium. In the strawberry/sedum one, I put a strawberry runner that I took from a plant in my front yard. I also got a sedum cutting from there. They both are doing well. the sedum has many new sprouts, and I may move it to another container in the future.

The ivy cuttings have grown a lot since I planted them. I started them a week after I made the above terrarium. For the cuttings I took off some twigs from the plant in my backyard. I then made a diagonal cut on one side (the side that I was going to stick in the ground). I also removed all leaves, so the cuttings could spend all their energy on just getting established. I didn't use a rooting hormone, though I highly suggest that you do for any cuttings that you do in the future. It's been about a month and a half, and they both have new growth! One took a lot longer than the other, and I actually was thinking of throwing it out soon. Good thing I didn't!

For taking care of them, there was not much to it. I kept them on a west facing window, though south-facing works well too. I opened them up every once in a while to dry out, though not very often, I mist them maybe about once a week or so, pretty much whenever I think they need it.
You really do not want to let your terrariums get too moist, as that can lead to a growth of unwanted fungus (mold). To get rid of mold, just let the terrarium dry out, and try to remove parts with mold in it.

I think that's about it! I want to try and make a mushroom terrarium (tutorial?) sometime hopefully soon. I make posts about every weekend, I try to get them out on Friday or Saturday most of the time, so please check in then! Any-who, thanks for reading and good luck on any plant/mycology adventures!
