I want to make a bioactive Terrarium. Can anyone give me some advice.
Also does anyone know how I can get springtails? I cant think of a local distributor and I don't want to Purchase a $15 culture.

Look around on youtube, OP
Some pretty snails and moss might work fine.
I made one three months ago and It hasn't had much going on besides the plants wilting a bit and some fungus coming and going
any ideas for spicing it up?

Just go out into the woods near your house and get some plants from there
Put some water in there but not to the point where the soil becomes soggy
I wouldn't recommend putting any living things in there unless your jar is pretty big

Haha! Everyone lives near woods! I always forget that if there is some wood near you, you live near the woods.

Shut up bitch, you're just covering the fact that you were too dumb to think of going to your nearby woods. Accept the advice and move on.
>no woods
>don't want to spend money.
>how else can I get
This post gets more and more stupid as I think about it.

use atlanta botanical gardens mix. best terrarium soil for plants.
Put it on top of a layer of fine gravel. for even better results, use some sort of screen to stop the dirt from getting into the drainage (gravel) layer.
that's it. you can now fill it with plants, isopods, springtails, whatever.
it's all super easy. dendroboard (dart frog keeping site) has the best guides and pictures.
