So I'm in the very early stages of of planning my terrarium, and I went to a local nursery and bought two plants:
Fittonia
bromeliad
The guy at the nursery said that the internet would be a good place to find out more about terrarium plants so here I am haha.
I'm pretty sure they are both low/medium lighting plants.
How do I prepare them for the terrarium when it's ready? I've read on the boards that some people prepare 5% bleach solutions for the plants. Do I remove all the soil from the roots and dip the whole plants in the solution? I'm also fairly certain that the nursery uses fertilizers.
Also, what kind of lighting should I use?
