I have planaria in my terrarium and I need them gone, and I want to do anything possible other than dismantling. I am wondering if using something, like no planaria, that is meant for a fish tank on a terrarium instead. At this point I don’t care if it kills the isopods or springtails or plants, I just want the worms gone. Is this a bad idea?

Hi guys, I’ve built my first couple of terrariums recently and added some spring tails along the way which I’ve been feeding them with Yeast.

Slight issue being I think I’ve over done it. There is still small bits of yeast that have been in there a couple of days now, however it seems to be growing a fluffy patch of white mould over it.

Will this be detrimental to the terrarium, if so is there anything I can do to help? Or will the Springtails simply clean it up? Thanks in advance!!

This photo isn’t exactly the best but just for reference. I recently made my first terrarium, everything seems fine I liked how it looks. My only problem is I can’t figure out if I’m watering it well enough. The moss and soils seems to feel dry, there’s no fogging of the glass it just seems like I’m not watering it enough but I know terrariums are supposed to not be watered often. I use a spray bottle and I’ve done it 3 times already and nothing has shown any overwatering signs. Maybe I’m just worrying but I’d like to be sure

When I opened My quarantine bin to inspect it a fungus gnat flew out. At the moment it isn’t much of a problem but I know they can multiply like crazy. I removed all of the soil and soaked the plants in a hydrogen peroxide solution before repotting in my terrarium substrate mix. How to prevent an infestation?

I don't get it I put the moss in the terrarium and the roots just attch to the original soil it got harvested off off even if I scrape at it to loosen the soil and expose the roots

Any idea what I have growing on the inside of the coconut hut here? Should I remove it?

I was thinking it would be cool to make one because clover leaves look really cool. I was thinking of using clovers that I find around my area (around Washington DC). What should I keep in mind when I make one? Can different types of clovers coexist? What type of soil should I use? How intensive would the care be? Please let me know if you have any advice or if I should not attempt it at all!

Does anyone here have a smartterra terrarium and know where I could get a replacement fan?

I contacted smart terra but they want me to pay 29 dollars for the fan and 17 for shipping. I have a hard time believing that fan is worth that much so I was hoping for a less expensive option.

Hi everyone !

I got a terrarium last december, placed next to a window and fueled it some water every 3 months or so but I just noticed that it has this strange white moldy thing, maybe it's normal but anyway here it is

Okay, the other day my therapist and i talked about final wishes. i want to be burned then placed in a 50/50 ash and dirt terrarium and left to grow over time

I have a tank that I’ve put months of time into and hundreds of dollars, and I just found some of these worms. Taking the tank apart is not an option that I have (parents will be mad, I will be mad, waste of money, etc.), but I know that they can’t really stay in the tank if I want everything else to be safe. What should I do, or what even can I do? Thank you.

I have three terrariums all of which smell/look fine but there are a lot of fruit flies inside and out of them and it's getting kinda annoying, any tips.

I would bake the bark then rip and chop it up to pretty small pieces. I have poplar bark, Russian olive bark, spruce bark, elm bark, and maybe a small amount of oak

Could someone debrief me on how exactly one would build a paludarium?? like what soil to use, what plants i can grow, if there are any restrictions on non-water areas of the build, etc.

i have seen a bunch of builds using foam and aquasoil. is this necessary??

Hey everyone,

I am about to make my first terrarium and want to add a snail (that I will find outside). If said snail lays eggs, do I need to crush the eggs? I've seen a lot about how snails can be invasive.

Thanks!

This is my first jellyfish terrarium on its third week. I was wondering if my plants are dying. I was told to water once a week but the plants look thirsty to me. Please help. Thanks.

I couldn't let the thought of doing it go. So I went to a thrift store and found this beauty for 50 cents. Now I got to find a nice container to put it in. Until then it sits underneath my monstera.
