This is my first attempt building one. But it feels so vacant. Wanted it look lush. Would like to add some more plants. What should i add ? I had bought a fittonia. But its nit the miniature type and is large for this setup.

Should i restructure or add any more hardscape ? How does it look ? Felt better in real than in the photo.

Also i had added some springtails. But not able to see any on the surface level. Should i add more ?

    What is that green thing in the left corner against the walls? I want it.

    If you added a good culture of springtails I would give it a couple weeks to see how they do. Maybe add in some leaf litter for a little cover for them too.

    I am not a very experienced vivarium or terrarium builder, but I do think this looks nice. I think part of what is making it seem a bit open or empty is that large moss wall in one area, but nothing else has grown into help provide more backdrop.

    I think another good sized wood stick/log would do well, and maybe a plant near the moss wall? Or something to complete the background/backdrop of the environment.

    Either way, I think its nice!
