DIY Terra Planter anyone can build 

DIY Terra Planter anyone can build || Making a Terraplanter in the style of a Dooa Terra Base.
I have to wanting to build a terra planter and something similar to a terra base for long. I did not want to buy the expensive Dooa terra base or a terra planter for the project. Instead I wanted to do it as a DIY using a terracotta container. Finally after a long search found one suitable for the project in a local departmental store and picked it up the other day. The build is fairly simple. I wrapped a sheet of moss on the tumbler with the help of some sewing thread. I added a few pieces of driftwood to give a scaped look. (I just pushed in the driftwood pieces into the moss and the thread held it in place). Next I proceeded with planting. I used epiphytic aquatic plants for planting. Plants used are mini Bolbitis fern, Hydrocotyle Verticillata, Anubias nana and Selaginella for this project. I had a one gallon glass tank in which I placed a layer of ADA aqua gravel. I placed the terra planter on the gravel and filled it with reverse osmosis water. I added some duckweed to the planter and closed the tank with a sheet of acrylic that I had.
