Hello all, i made a mossarium for my parents a few weeks ago and now the moss is struggling. Any advice on how to fix it or what to do? Last picture from how it was when i made it.
The moss has to be firmly atop the substrate, it can’t be loose, you have to really press it against the soil. I can’t tell if that’s the case with yours but just adding that info because that has made a difference for me. Mine are also sealed tightly, I air them out occasionally every couple days but for the most part I keep my mossariums shut and allow for some condensation. I also keep mine in an east facing windowsill so they get lots of light and use no fertilizers and keep them moist. That’s all I can really offer. I’ve also had moss die back in some cases but at the moment in the conditions I describe, my mossariums are green and doing well.

Does it get direct sunlight? Or is the light you use too warm?

Dry AF. This won’t bounce back
