    Update

    On Saturday I went to the pet store and hardware store to buy the following materials for my build:

    -3 bags of aquarium gravel (to fill the bottom for the terrarium where, as there will be several inches of water)

    -2 cans of Great Stuff: Big Gap foam spray to create the background and to attatch the above pieces of wood

    -1 container of GE’s Silicone II 100% silicone sealant clear

    -A piece of plexi glass measuring 17.5” by 10”. This will be sealed to the front of the terrarium so no water will leak out.

    -A distributor with 8 nozzles, which will be attached to a pump.

    -1/4 inch tubing (about 10 ft). This will be cut up in segments and attached to the distributor nozzles to create a sort of irrigation system, which will then be used to make the drip wall.

    Unfortunately, the pump I already had, stopped functioning, as a piece went missing :P So today, I’m going to the aquarium store (Fishtopia) to buy a new pump. I also hope to buy the plants this week as well from Black Jungle Terrarium Supply .

    Here are those pictures I promised lol

    From left to right, the plants are as follows: Snake Plant, a variation of a creeping Pilea, Creeping Fig (Ficus Sunny), Button fern, Staghorn fern, Tillandsia, and a tropical plant from Petco (not sure what type it is, but I found it in its current condition.....I'm hoping to revive it).

    I have other plants that I'll include as well, a couple sweetheart philodendrons, Spider plants, and aquatic plants, which have yet to be purchased !
