@MeetJackBlack Жыл бұрын

How long does one have to wait for Drylok to cure, before putting in plants or animals? I can't seem to get a straight answer, and I've heard it can burn your plants, if you plant them right away. I have 5 of the same type of frog, but I'm scared to put the little buggars in, as I just finished the last layer of Drylok a couple of days ago. And I can still smell the fumes, though not as strongly as before.

@joeyp734 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! Looks beautiful. I see that you wrapped the roots of many plants (p verrucosum and medoces petola) and wedged them against the drylok and wood. Would they attach themselves even to the drylok background?

@mightymorphingreptiles Жыл бұрын

I've had moss definetly stick to drylok. I dont think i mentioned in the video but I used garden wire to pin the plants to such as verucossum to the walls. That plant is an aeroid and it will develop its roots and go straight down as it grows. The mecatos I've had root to woods in other terrariums. I always wrap plants roots in wet sphagnum moss if they're not directly planted into soil.

So I did the hardscape like you did and used the dry lock and concrete die but what I'm noticing is some of the dry foam is peeling from the glass and dry lock seems to be opening up cuts and slits within the foam did you notice any odd variables when doing your terrariums with spray foam and dry lock??

For the foam peeling I’ve had that happen before. You can silicone to back edges like you’re tracing around it to prevent it from happening on future builde
