Terrarium Moss
 There are a few different reasons you might want to use terrarium moss. The first reason is the aesthetics of it. It does look good and can make a bland terrarium look much better without much effort. One of the key things about terrariums is arrangement of the plants and by using moss you can make the arrangement much fuller and much more pleasing to the eye. This improvement is partially due to color variations but is also due to variations in the height of the arranged materials. If all your plants are of the same height the moss will offset this nicely by adding some ground level color and texture.
