@bunnysoasis hi Janette. Are you keeping the lid open or closed? Fittonia, peperomia, begonias Joseph’s coat varieties and ferns make good terrarium plants.
@bunnysoasis i'm seeing a waterline where the moss is at? Almost as if the moss is barely submerged in water, like an aquatic plant. At best you can do aquatics then. Try going to a reputable aquarium store [NOT a pet shop, and NOT PetCo or PetSmart if you're in the US], and find something called Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'. If you're willing to spend and don't mind the plant looking like sh!t for a the first week, Cryptocoryne sp. 'Flamingo' [also 'Pink Panther', 'Pink Flamingo' or just 'Pink'] is a good one. For something that gives lovely blooms try Pogostemon, in particular P.erectus/deccanensis or P.helferi, or any small Anubias varieties [Bucephalandra if you wanna spend]. If you want to a grassy plant Eleocharis are good, but E.accicularis 'Mini' and E.pusilla/pumilla will stay small.
@bunnysoasis I would recommend that you keep it closed. But keep a close eye on it so you can see what works best. I keep all of my terrariums closed unless put a tall plant in it.
