I used cleaned aquarium gravel mixed with charcoal chunks, then good potting soil, then moss to cover the top of the dirt and the front edge to keep the layers from showing. I put in two small AVs and buried their pots. That way if they don't do well, I can snatch them out of there, but everything else is in the soil and has been there for three weeks or so. I have a small maidenhair fern, a couple of pepperomias, tiny mondo grass, a couple of different ivy, and a new air plant I just received as a gift.

I really love the terrarium and so does everyone who comes here. It's sure a lot less trouble than it was as an aquarium.
