Help please


So I’ve had this terrarium I made myself for over a year and it seemed to be going well. it survived last winter so I thought I’d mange it the same keep it away from the window in an area that still get light and I thought it would be okay. I pulled it down to check and all the leaves have fallen off it’s been cold the last couple weeks but nothing it hadn’t experienced before. Is there a way to save the tree or is it completely dead. (Note the plants are only wet because I just resprayed after 6 months of keeping it sealed after the leaves had already dropped off) Help is much appreciated Thankyou

    Do you know which plant was it that seems to be dying?

    I keep all my terrariums under LED lamps and they seem to be doing well, it’s hard to guess the right amount of indirect light if you rely on light coming from the window

    i thinks that’s a ficus? if so, to be in a terrarium they need really well drainage, and the humidity needs to be a little bit lower than a typical terrarium!

    Besides to moist for the ficus, the Hypoestes (polka dot) plant looks like it is not getting enough light with how lanky it has become. Ficus look dead sadly. It’s a lovely terrarium. All the best in the future with it.
