Creating a thriving planted terrarium

[Emeraldsea]

I'm quite fond of planted terrariums myself. Whenever I attend vivaristic or terraristic events, I make it a point to check out the show terrariums on display. Some of these setups are actually paludariums, where water meets land, and I find the combination of aquatic and swamp plants used in them to be particularly intriguing. It's worth noting, however, that many swamp plants have been mislabeled as aquatic plants for years now. I've attached a couple of photos to give you an idea of what these show terrariums look like.

Always impressed by terrariums, I must say. The ones with a bit of water at the bottom and various nano fish are quite fascinating. Then, of course, you have the full terrarium to admire - it's almost like having two displays in one. I love how the combination of aquatic and swamp plants can thrive together in these setups.

Do you have any pics of those show terrariums from the front, rather than at an angle? I think @eleNt might be interested in seeing these. What else can you share about them, like the setup and maintenance?

Just had a conversation with you in that other thread, then I ended up here.
