Hey I loved your tutorial. How do you care for the springtails? i.e. how do you keep the ones you are not using? If I keep them in a box and close the lid, will they die?

I love watching your videos, very informative as well as your ebook. I just built my first terrarium following your guides. My question is why does it stay fogged up all the time? Does that go away? Should i leave it alone? Should i open it and clean the glass? I only squirted a mist bottle with fine mist 5 squirts, the media isnt very wet.

Currently thinking about making a terrarium, I wanna make one from a fish tank but for now I should start small. Thanks for the tutorial!

[SajedulIslam-vsbr]

That's awesome, I would like to make one for me but I didn't find anything in canada. Can you please give me plant's link for Canada. It would be a great help. Thanks

Could I add isopods/woodlice instead of springtails for cleanup crew?

[deanstuteley]

This is awesome. Where do you get springtails and the clear disc lids?

[PetRatPro]

This is great!
What’s the best way to get all those different materials for the substrate layer? And things like the spider wood and moss. What types of stores would sell that?

[dustinberends]

I'm just getting into terrariums and I'd like to know where you get your coco fiber. Is it coconut husk fiber? Also, my first terrarium has a plant in it and the plant molded. How would you fix it?

[januthcs]

What kind of animals/insects can you put in this to make it more lively if that makes sense?

[thedouble]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was helpful, but I don’t know where to find the ingredients for the substrate mix. do you order them or find them?

[Roy-ttxu]

What should be the avarage temparature to maintain TERRARIUM?

[operationeight-ldkd]

Do you sell premixed terrarium substrate? If not, maybe you could start selling various sized packages of it? I love that you include the recipe for it so we can make it at home, and I would like to try my hand at making a terrarium, but I’m wondering if we can buy it premixed so we don’t have a lot of leftover stuff if we’re just trying out a first terrarium.

I hope that makes sense and maybe something for you to try: selling 1lb., 2lb., 5lb., etc. bags of your premade terrarium substrate for the beginner who is just starting out. Just a thought 🙂
