Tragic Terrarium Tale
Wed Feb 08 2012

I hate to tell you this, I really do. My terrarium has hairy mold in it. Which is rather odd considering I have left the lid off of it 90% of the time. It has withered the really cool plant I found by the sidewalk, and is turning the dense moss from the fields brown. I'm so bummed. However, the 'weed' plant that I got from the nursery seems to be doing fine. I am going to take out the unhappy plants and leave that one in there. I have some more irish moss in the little six pack from the nursery outside that I'll put in and see what happens. I don't have the heart to take a picture of it. We have to look at enough wrack and ruin around the globe these days. I don't want to add to the pile. Afterwards, I'm going to take a nice bike ride in the sunshine and think happy thoughts... I have a happy thought! What is that praytell? The goggies don't have mold on them! That's true, but they are hairy. Very hairy. And they all need a bath come to think of it. Thanks SO much for reminding me. Welcome!

    Bummer :( Once established, molds tend to stay around to strike again so you might want to take everything out, wash the container and then re-plant with fresh soil.

    That "hairy" mold is what I remember best about all the terrariums of the 70s. It seems like they all got it, eventually. I think that's why they went out of style.
