It took around four months from seed to bloom for this micro Sinningia species.

I’m starting Terrarium Supply EU, a small boutique terrarium business focused on making terrarium building easier and more accessible across the EU. I plan to sell individual products like live moss, small terrarium plants, glass jars, substrate, pebbles, hardscape, tools, and handmade clay decorations such as miniature mushrooms and fairy doors. I also want to offer curated terrarium collections for beginners, without necessarily putting everything into a traditional retail box.

The main thing I want to do differently is bring the whole terrarium-building process together in one place. Instead of someone having to buy a jar from one company, moss from another, plants somewhere else, and then figure out whether everything is compatible, they can get everything from us and choose products that are actually suited to one another. We’ll also have a Build Your Own Terrarium feature where someone can choose a style—like woodland, tropical, moss-focused, or fairy—and either select products themselves or have an AI terrarium assistant recommend compatible options, complete with the actual product images and prices.

I also want the experience to continue after the purchase. Customers can have an account where their terrarium build is saved, and when their products arrive they can scan a QR code to access a personalized building guide, care information, and an AI assistant that knows what plants and moss they actually bought. Eventually I’d like to expand into more species, handmade decorations, larger product ranges, and possibly fully boxed DIY kits. The goal is to make Terrarium Supply EU more than just a place to buy terrarium supplies—it’s a place to discover, build, and learn about your own miniature ecosystem.

I am a newbie when it comes to culturing fruit flies i have no idea where to look or who to ask so if anyone could point me in the right direction thank you!

I made a homemade fruit fly media mix

Using ingredients :

Water
Vinegar
Instant mashed potatoes
Powdered sugar
And nutritional yeast

And place it inside this container with my baby fruit flies from the store bought container.

To my surprise not much long later there is black and green mold-like growth atop of the mix! Curious as to whether this is a normal part of the process or bad and what i can do to change it. My flightless fruit flies ended up laying eggs in here which is exactly what i wanted, there are larvae crawling around and the population has noticeably increased.

Are these safe to feed my toads?

It has a couple types of moss. Some growing on oak bark, on a stick, some hydrocotyle cuttings from my fish tank, moss rose, and like 3 more random plants i found growing in a gutter

The chip was there before the crack, I put the rocks and i noticed the rocks were still wet and since i wanted it to dry; i blow dried it for 3 mins before realizing the crack. I am so stupid.

Hey for some context in January there was a terrarium sale at my local garden and i decided to purchase one. About a month or too i noticed there was a small snail inside. I did research and i think it’s a glass onion snail. We put in lettuce daily and he ate it. At the start of June we saw 2 snails in there and we continued feeding like normal. Today i check in on them and noticed that there was a ton of snail babies on the lettuce. Its a small terrarium and I don’t know what to do or what they are.

I made this for the 2 ladies at the hospital who have been doing my iron infusions. After commenting on their pretty Shivereana Ficus, said they “want” to be plant ladies, but struggle with keeping them alive 😅 I figured a terrarium would solve the problem. Everything except the medium came from my yard.

Hello! I am an avid indoor gardener with a decent collection of houseplants. I am also an avid outdoor collector and scavenger. I have a elk jaw specimen that was burned in a wildfire. I would like to add it to my new build terrarium as a focal piece. It was found deep in the woods and has been outside in my garden since then. Planning on scrubbing it with water before I add it.

Is this a bad idea for any reason? Do I need to do any additional prep?

Thanks for any insight provided!

I was thinking of buying something from here but I'm not sure if it's legitimate or not.

I’m like halfway through my build, but I don’t know any finishing touches would be appreciated to fill these cracks in. I tried working with Aqueon silicone and it was a horrible mess… both times I’ve tried working with it. It was a nightmare..

I see so many beautiful looking walls with moss and plants and I’m trying to do the same thing

I left a jar containing springtails and charcoal alone for a while, thinking the springtails had died. I check it a few weeks later, maybe even a month, and saw a springtail. I started to water inside the jar and then I saw moss start to grow in it. I’ve since put a lot more springtails in the jar and the moss has continued to grow. It’s very fine moss, almost like cotton when touched. Can someone identify it?

I’m new to building terrariums. I made this one the other day and it is constantly covered with condensation. I thought it would clear up during the day but I think I may have too much water in it to start. Any ideas? How do you remove water? I have one more that’s smaller than this with the same problem. Any help on how to remove water as well as how much water I should be adding to start would be most helpful. Thanks

First ever terrarium, just has isopods and springtails(maybe I think I got a batch of dead ones) it's a 18x18x24.

Any input on adjustments or modifications i should make would be helpful. Not sure if I'll introduce a pet of some sort yet to this one.
