Yeah, if there are any bare spots that I still can't get, I was planning on putting sphagnum moss over them. (or a tillandsia )

[LilyPad]

I had a few bare spots in mine after running out of silicone, I covered them with moss and you can't see them at all now Really stressed me out at first though LOL

[jarteta97]

I know right! I tried going back with wood glue because silicone obviously doesn't stick to more silicone, but it didn't work, so I guess moss it is, lol.

[jarteta97]

Alright, so I got all three of the walls nice and siliconed and covered in coco fiber. Now what I think is the most exciting part (I think Bill would agree) : Planting

The Bromeliad layout was pretty easy, because I just stuck the bromeliads in all the little niches in the ghostwood, almost like they were meant to be there.



Then I kind of got too excited and just planted without taking pics

And then some random shots







Put some sphagnum moss on the edge









The water feature isn't quite done, because I still need to find some brown or grey acrylic paint for the drylok that I bought. I hope to be able to apply it while the plants acclimate, and hopefully in 3 weeks my frogs can go in

I got a little camera happy, so sorry for that, but more is better than less! Hope you enjoyed looking.
