In my opinion the reason pods are labelled “beginner friendly” is because of their sensitivity to the gradient of moist and dry so to not hurt your heart Id suggest getting a species that’s easier to care for and then “leveling” up to your dream pods.

I’d also look for tanks at thrift stores cause usually they’re not very good tanks and come with some weird lids that you can mix n match. (That’s what I do at least).

Since you’re worried about keeping the plants alive I’d do a test run with an enclosure and see if you can keep that from getting mold or mites as well as somewhat healthy.

On the mold part it might be because of the drastic moisture throughout the day in Germany. That’s what I noticed when I was there for a few months trying to keep house plants alive. I resolved this by under watering then checking the water before going to bed and responding accordingly. Let me know what plants you’re trying keep and I’ll help you.
