🌿 Setup Ideas:
- Place the printed model against the back wall of your empty terrarium.
- Fill the bottom basin and the upper bowls with appropriate substrate (leca balls for drainage, followed by soil/terrarium mix).
- Plant your favorite small flora into the integrated bowls.
- Add moss into the crevices of the rock texture for an aged, natural look.
- Optional: Create a small water feature in the bottom basin (ensure your print is watertight first!).
