Jewel Orchid | Transforming for Summer in a Moss Terrarium🌿

I had pruned and taken cuttings of my jewel orchid to keep it compact.
A month and a half has passed, and while there is no visible change, it hasn't wilted either, so
I decided to plant it in a glass case.

A new sprout is faintly starting to grow.

I spread zeolite at the bottom and planted it with sphagnum moss.

It has returned to a perfect size.

It looks very bleak now that it's smaller.
Since it's a terrarium after all, I decided to decorate it with moss!
I decided to plantBartramia pomiformisaround it.
Bartramia pomiformis stays low and spreads out like a cushion.
It is characterized by small, balloon-like spore capsules that form in the spring.

Loosen them one by one.

Bundle about 5 to 10 stems together, cut them to about 2cm, and plant them with tweezers.

It looks like okonomiyaki.

Since there was a little bit of a different type of moss mixed in that wasn't Bartramia pomiformis,
I tried planting them in their own groups.
Having various types seems nice as it adds variety.

Is the one on the left Thuidium? Is the one on the right Polytrichum?


It looks comfortable nestled in the fluffy moss😊

I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes.
I can close the lid now, so it should be able to maintain humidity.



I scattered the remaining moss scraps at the base of my bonsai.
It would be lucky if they grow✨

I have a feeling they might already be dead...
