3) small 5-8mm lava rocks, enough to take a 2-3 cm high layer (you can choose red or black, please leave me message when place order. Personally, I prefer red, for it looks exotic).

4) several large lava rocks picked by us to form a planting hole like the photos shows and some dry moss to plant your carnivorous plants. And instant glue you needed to glue them together. I will send you an email about the rock arrangement. 

5) 3 pieces of dried Hypnum moss, which is slightly taller and fatter than the photos shows. But with time going, they will grow over the rock tightly like the photos show.

You need to prepare the pitcher plants and ferns yourself.

This set is suitable for tall carnivorous plants, like pitcher, and ferns.

This is an open terrarium, with no lid so you plant to grow tall carnivorous plants, and ferns, this is the choice.

Where to put this tank: if you plant pitcher, please place it just beside the window, Pitcher plants need lots of sunlight. For reference, I place it by the window and turn on the light at night as a small night light.  If you plant fern, anywhere of the room will be ok.

How to water it: pour in water or spray water. There must be water in the bottom, the highest water level is below where the moss grows.  Moss can not live in water. 

There are 3 size of such tanks but for this style it needs comparatively larger space so there is only medium and large size. The photos show medium size tank.

We have tank and LED set only available on my website. If you prefer to prepare the lava rocks, for your reference, the small 5-8mm small lava rocks need 1kg and the large lava rocks are about 1kg too, to achieve the look as the photos show. The key point of this terrarium is lava rock and the moss. You may choose alternative materials, but the rock must be porous and the moss must be Hypnum moss family.
