Here are some photos of my terrarium that I planted a few months ago. I wanted to show it to you because it has a couple of the prettiest AVs in it that I have ever seen. One tiny little minitature even has a tiny little bloom. I posted it in the terrarium forum but instead of posting it all over again here, I will just give you the URL to that thread. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/667850/

Terrarium with AVs
Very nice! I think I might like to fix up a terrarium. I love to see how things grow and change.
Hey Jesse, quite nice! Do you keep it covered? I have some mini av's in partial terriums...like brandy snifter (is that the right word??) but no cover. A couple are doing great and one really isn't. I think those are the ones where I just planted into the mix without keeping them in a buried pot. Yours looks like they are just planted in, though???
Whatever you are doing, they sure like it!
My terrarium has a top just like a regular aquarium. And it has a light also. I cannot believe that everything has grown so fast. I looked at it this morning and that little AV has tons of buds. I can't wait until they all bloom. The color of the leaves in the terrarium are amazing. They look like nothing has ever touched them and probably look like they do in their natural habitat. Here is a photo with the top of the terrarium open. I had to turn the light off in order for the photo to be clear. I keep it on most of the time and it is doing so well. I can't wait to get a larger tank. I would love to have a large tank with nothing but AV Minis in it. They look so pretty in the terrarium.
