[QUOTE="michaelcng, post: 114830, member: 21762"] Gynura aurantica "Purple Passion" for a vibrant splash of color. Sagina subulata "Scotch Moss," Tillandia usneoides "Spanish Moss, Cladonia rangiferina "Reindeer Moss," and "Selaginella Kraussiana "Golden Moss" for texture. I cut down cork bark to create a little cave and reinforced the top with a piece of petrified wood. To catch any water overflow, the bottom is covered with a layer of rocks. Another thin layer of activated carbon is added on top to filtrate impurities and eliminate odors. About 3 inches of Zilla Jungle Mix is added to the top. In addition to looking beautiful, the moss will definitely help retain substrate moisture for my P. ultramarinus! This is made more of a vivarium with the addition of a colony isopods to act as cage "janitors" for decaying organic matter. Hopefully this will give some guidance and new ideas for anyone looking for a more unique set-up!
