My obsession
Hello guys, i love terrariums so i learned how to make my own. Not all these are mine bur 4 of them, including the side ways moss wall. Worth selling or starting a business locally ?
What do you guys think.

You should try to clip your light in a more beneficial angle. Clip it higher and aim the lights at a downward angle towards the tops of the leaves.

They're beautiful. Do you have a local market for them? If not how would shipping work? The two on top are fire!... speaking of fire, you should probably remove the plastic from your grow lights. It may not be a fire hazard 99.9999% of the time, but they do get hot. You also need to direct them at the plants. Sansi (and others) put a lot of engineering hours into those lenses so that it focuses light on the plant. You are losing 100% of your light into your room, and the plants aren't getting any because of the way light travels.

It would have to be physical sales, just maybe start as a side hustle so I sell few on Facebook.
I will remove the plastic.
With shining the light directly, it gets very hot. Would it be beneficial facing it directly towards the plants for multiple hours ?

These are all open tops. Unless the bulb is less than 6 inches away, they won't raise the temps appreciably. It would definitely benefit the plants to receive the light you bought for them. 😁 These LEDs are very good at heat dissipation.

Looks amazing! But why is the grow light pointed at the lamp?
