Hi everyone, it's my first time opening a topic here so I hope not to make a mess.
I'm also from Italy so my english is kinda crappy, i also hope you can understand what I write.
Anyway, i took some bark from the woods I live in (they were already fall off the tree, so i just picked them up from the soil) and it has a lot of moss and lichens growing upon it. I want to use it as landscape and decorations for my terrariums,("empty" ones with just plants, or for phasmids) but since it's decomposing I want to sterilize it.
I've seen people using soapy water and bleach to sterilize wood, but I don't want to kill mosses and lichens since they're very natural-looking.
I thought about using just boiling water to get rid of insects, since I saw some beetles and other little pests, but I don't know if it's enough.
Do you have any ideas or experience in this?
Thank you a lot.
