I then put down at least three inches of sphagnum as the substrate. I squeeze one handful at a time, quite hard so there is some pressure to give some resistance as roots grow in.
Then I add the plants. Here I used a Rhex Begonia that turns bright purple given intense enough light. Also Red Pepperomia, three various neoregalia bromeliads, some calathea and a button fern. Usually I put down a layer of live moss on top of this, but I was caught out of stock at the time of this build, oops.
Next I use black Oceanview background, which is a selfstick background, to hide the back and substrate as these are not the most attractive aspects of the viv.
