| I bought this terrarium a while back. Everything was great for about a week. Now the fern-like plant is withered and wilted. It looks dried out but I am pretty sure it is not in need of watering. Does anyone know what plant this is or how I can possibly recover it? The picture is not great but the condition it is in now is unidentifiable. |

| Selaginella moss? |

| From this angle it looks like a peacock fern. |

| I turned this pic right-side up for you and zoomed in on the plant I believe you're referring to?

| Maybe it needs a breath of fresh air sometimes? Can you remove the lid to take its' pic? I'm not sure the other plant should be in a terrarium. Echeveria? |

| Not an ideal combo of plants - if humid/moist enough to keep the selaginella (aka spikemoss or arborvitae fern) happy, it will be too humid/moist for the succulents sharing the terrarium (looks like a little sedum or stonecrop under the echeveria looking specimen). |
