Bottle Biosphere Guide [better] Full Page

To build a successful biosphere, you must layer specific materials to ensure drainage and filtration:

  • Fittonia (Nerve plant) – The gold standard for closed terrariums.
  • Selaginella (Spike moss) – Primitive, beautiful.
  • Pilea glauca – Tiny leaves, great ground cover.
  • Mosses (Hypnum, Dicranum, or sheet moss).

Plants: Mosses, ferns, Fittonia (nerve plants), and Pilea are excellent choices. They stay relatively small and love moisture. bottle biosphere guide full
