After a long time, I finally managed to (almost) finish my third Heliamphora terrarium 😉 It’s just my old grow-rack terrarium – but totally rebuilt. But it’s a long story, so I’m giving you just a quick, overall summary: WALLS: -I used plexiglas sticked to the rack using silicone, now there are multi-chamber polycarbonate panels […]

I built it using plexiglas – because it’s lighter, easier to cut […]
