The Muddled Puddle, a Wabi Kusa

Some changes... took out palm and added an Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) instead and it's doing well...

The mosses have gone crazy and the pilea is hanging on... over the last 6 months the salvinia went crazy even growing under water, but neglect allowed BGA attack...

Today I cleaned out the bowl, dumped the aquasoil and trimmed and rinsed the wabi, driftwood and moss... I will add some new substrate, maybe some sand and begin to fertilize... not sure about keeping the salvinia or not...

This moss ball is out of control... I don't change the water, ever... no ferts... I just top up... various creature live in its dark folds...

I gave up on most of the plants save for the mosses... they just didn't grow well with such neglect...

I washed it out and trimmed it... earwigs came crawling out... the water was green... the moss is at least 4 inches thick in spots... reminds me of floating bog moss Islands in the wild places of Canada... I really should get some small carnivorous pitcher plants to grow on this...

I have no idea what species are on here besides the small Hydrocotyle tripartita eeking out an existence... I keep finding mosses and slapping them on...
