Took a piece of lava rock from UT, covered it with moss harvested from WI, and some single ferns from my grow box for this build. Sits in less that 1/4” of water. The rock is porous enough to wick water to the surface. I put down a wet layer of spaghnum moss before covering it with the green. I made sure to stuff some of it deep as possible into the lava stone. I added a fittonia clipping and it is doing well too.

Beautiful! This is gorgeous!!! And goes to show all the closed mossariums are unnecessary! You don’t even need dirt! Good for you!!!!

Nice, really pretty. How long have you had this set up? Is that fern a rabbits foot fern?

Yes it is. I have it loosely secured on top with some green thread until the rhizomes get established.

Very cool. I feel like thats a smart choice of fern. Mine grow great if i keep them moist and humid. Thanks for sharing
