Dragon Hill Terrascape (scaped terrarium build)

Dragon Hill Terrascape (Scaped Terrarium build using Dragon wood)

A fully scaped terrarium build in a 3000ml glass jar with a glass lid.

Lava rock chips has been used as drainage layer followed by activated carbon for filtration and finally my terrarium soil mix.
I used Dragon wood and Seiryu stones to create the hardscape. (Hence the title). I also used small pieces of Dragon wood to create a forced perspective and a pathway was laid down in the middle using sand.
I used Leucobryum Glaucum and Hedwigia SP moss for ground coverage and used Anubias nana petite, Bolbitis Difformis and Selaginella Uncinata for planting. I also added more details in the foreground with small pieces of Seiryu stones. Finally I watered the terrarium, dropped in some springtails from my active culture and closed it up.
