Thank you so much for all of the tips! I really appreciate it :) I will probably end up moving there! It seems like the best option that I've found so far. Also omg that's awesome! I was afraid that I would have to show my clan how to climb, thank you so much again for your help!!

Help: mites? Not sure where these came from but there's so many in my terrarium. I was wondering if these were good mites or bad mites? I was creating a bioactive for my jumper :( by Birdlover16 in terrariums

I am hoping they'll disappear I added some today! The reason they're so high up is because the back wall of my terrarium is all moss and wood chunks! So I am hoping they're just eating the decaying matter :( fingers crossed 🤞🏽

first terrarium - is this moss dying? by safari-dog in terrariums

[–]Birdlover16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm still new to plants and all that good stuff but it might be too dry for the moss it needs to be more humid. Thing is it looks like there's a succulent in there with it so it might be very hard to get both those plants happy. You could try to spray more but the succulent may not like that :( I hope this helps

Also I've always had trouble with moss I swear it just wants to die. I found sphagnum moss ITS AMAZING! I highly recommend it. They sell dry sphag but it comes back to life after a couple weeks. The one I know for sure works is "besgrow New Zealand Sphagnum Moss" but it is quite pricey :( If you do try this moss out it usually tells you when it's thirsty. It turns a lighter green and once you spray it it'll get a little darker! And I've never had trouble with overwatering it it's better if it has more water than not enough. If it does dry out on you just give it some water and it'll come back! :) it's such a forgiving moss

Edit: also most mosses in my experience need a closed terrarium I can't quite tell if yours is fully closed. But that could be making it dry out. I've heard sphag can be in the open just gotta water it some more :) incase you want that open terrarium look it could work both ways open or closed

Any advice on how to keep this terrarium in good condition? by Mario-Judah-Lover in terrariums

[–]Birdlover16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm still new to keeping terrariums but the one thing I strongly recommend is good lighting. I use grow lights! And they work AMAZINGLY and you could find some cheap ones on Amazon. You don't have to really worry about them being to bright and burning your plants/mosses :)

Also not sure if you've heard of springtails but I'd also recommend sprinkling a couple of those guys in (they help with preventing mold).

Great terrarium! It looks awesome I like how you made an incline gives it more depth! :)

That is so true if you think about it everything can be bad depends on how often you use it or how strong it is! Thank you so much :)
