  • Tip 1 - overwatering:
    Unfortunately overwatering a terrarium can be very easy & is definitely one of the most common mistakes beginners make. Make sure you only water until the substrate is damp & NOT wet!
    Tip 2 - direct sunlight:
    The quickest way to kill a terrarium is by placing it in direct sunlight, instead find a bright spot in indirect sunlight, or place under some LED lights.
    Tip 3 - substrate:
    The substrate of a terrarium is one of the most important things for it to be a long term success. Here’s the mix I’ve used to make thousands of successful terrariums:
    Coco fibre 1 part
    Sphagnum moss 2 parts
    Orchid bark 1/4 part
    Charcoal 1/4 part
    Worm castings 1/4 part

      Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven.
      God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .

      If I use garden dirt from outside I bake it at 350° for 1 hour to sterilize and kill anything and everything so you don't have random weeds growing. It's just as good as buying potting soil. Especially if you get garden dirt that's already been composted.
