1. Make a false bottom. The function of the false bottom is to overhead the rain forest water tank and store some water to prevent the stone from directly contacting the glass. Because the drainage hole at the bottom of the cylinder has a certain height, it is necessary to prop up the bottom filter plate to a certain height. Because the material here is limited, the mineral water bottle cap is glued under the bottom filter plate with hot melt adhesive to play the role of heightening support. You can also buy a bottom filter plate with a raised bottom directly.
2. Pave the background board and fix the landscape wood. Cut the fiber planting board according to the size and put it into the cylinder as the background board for attaching plants such as moss. Put the wood in a cylinder, design the ideal shape, and then fix it with hot melt adhesive and styrofoam.
3. Laying the base plate. First, lay 3-5cm thick volcanic rocks on the bottom floor as the base. A thin layer of water moss is spread on volcanic rocks, which helps to keep water better. Terracotta is paved with ruby soil, which can be paved with different thicknesses to create ideal topographic relief.
Plant plants. Evenly spraying the moss glue on the background board, standing for 30-40 seconds, and spreading moss on the background board after reaching the optimal viscosity. I prepared two kinds of moss, short-haired moss and small gray moss, and I chose a mixed method to make the background board look less boring.
5. Install spraying equipment and top net. Connect the spray head with the spray pump, install it in the reserved hole at the top of the rainforest tube, and finally cover the top net, and you're done!
