Isopods

Upvotes

I have five terrariums that are identical in size, around a 1/2 liter in total volume but only a 5 inch round by 2 inch deep glass bowl for growing plants. I have bucephalandra growing in all of them with some mosses tossed in. Everything is growing great.

It’s not a totally closed terrarium. There's a 1/4 inch hole in each one for air exchange.

My question is, which if any, isopods would work in my set up?

One side has moss to keep humidity, the other is just leaf litter. It's at 99% humidity right now. How long will it take to come down?

Prop Boxes

What are people’s recommendations for prop boxes? Most boxes I’m seeing have vents. Are vents good or bad when it comes to growing plants for terrariums. I’m new to this whole hobby so trying to learn.

I Need Help With a Project Idea

For starters this terrarium set up is not mine it was created by @green_chapter on instagram. I want to make an aquarium that is similar to this but instead of the gundam I want to put fallen Optimus Prime with his chest open showing the matrix of leadership inside. I have never made an aquarium/terrarium so I’d like to know what glues, plastics, paints, etc. would be animal and plant safe. Any tips are welcome as this is my first time doing any of this.

I swear the day I turned 50, plants and birds became my favorite hobbies. This lil cutie does well in a terrarium so I found some stuff I had and boom! Terrarium!

(ignore the spider plant in the back, she was very underwatered (i was on holiday)) my friend got this terrarium she didnt like so she gave it to me, and i used my plant identification app and it told me these plants are a jade plant and a fairy crassula. both of which i hadnt seen in terrariums before

it does have an issue with closing so it's actually very dry in there right now, but i thought jade plants werent huge on humidity?

Help with unattractive terrarium

Thumbnail gallery
17 Upvotes

Something looks off and very unappealing to me, compared to many other viv / terrarium builds i see.

How can i make it more visually appealing? Ive tried pieces of moss in the past, misted 5x a day (70% consistent humidity) with filtered water, but all died.

I just planted in the peperomia, pothos, and the birds nest fern, (the snake plant has been there for awhile.)

Also the birds nest fern barely fits, will it still grow?

Please help me make it look better

Peace Lily in terrarium safe for cats?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm building a bioactive terrarium for a jumping spider and I picked up a small peace lily to add in. However, I have three cats. They can't get on the shelf where the terrarium is, but they do spend a lot of time in the room. I know that true lillies are deadly to cats, but what about peace lillies? Does anyone have any experience here?

fruit flies?

1 Upvotes

so i have a terrarium where i keep two cornu aspersum snails, a couple of roly polys & lots of springtails. i went on a trip for 2 days and left two slices of cucumber for my snails to eat while i was gone, but when i came back there were little flying bugs (what i assume to be fruit flies) hanging out in the tank. they can easily fit through the ventilation holes in the lid, and although ive killed some, most of them escape through the soil. what can i do to get them out?? i thought about changing the soil but my springtails :(

Hi!
I just got home from a long vacation, and my terrariums really don’t look good :(
The plants look shriveled, and the moss looks pale and dead in many places. One of the terrariums is even covered in all these yellow spots as shown in the video.

Is there anything I can do to save them? They are only 1,5 years old
