    Default first live plant attempt

    So, this is my first attempt at adding live plants to my terrarium. I wasn't completely satisfied with the turnout, but it's okay. I planted pothos into my coconut substrate and i bought a tiny bromeliad which i ended up not putting in the tank because i think it will look too cluttered. let me know what you guys think/how i can improve it. i dont want to do the false bottom/clay backgrounds just yet. maybe on my next one!

    This looks very nice!
    You don't have to plant directly in to deep soil.
    Always re-pot a plant into clean soil.
    Simply leave the plans in the nursery pot.
    Be sure to grow out the bad stuff ( fertilizers and pesticides) for at least 2-3 weeks.
