I had this project at the back of my mind for a long time and the opportunity came up during my current visit to my hometown in West Bengal.
So I went ahead and collected some moss, weed and wild plants from my mothers overgrown garden to build a native terrarium. Prior to the build I had actually run a test where I placed some of these plants in a sealed container for 3 weeks. Almost all of them did well. They rooted and flowered giving me the confidence to try them out in a closed terrarium.
Also the springtails culture I am developing here hasn't taken off yet so I closed the terrarium without the springtails.
