Spring or fall is the time to rebuild and refurbish your terrarium...
Me.....I hate to rearrange something I have built for a few seasons.

But it keeps everything interesting for the winter.

Sick of these loser spammers. This site is a magnet for spam and bullcrap. The owner needs to sell asap. If he does nothing, this site is finished.

When you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Rather than complaining and whining, just hit the report spam button and stop posting complaints. Rather send a message to the mods.
We all have jobs and don't get paid to do this. we do this because we like this site as it's a valuable source of information.

Just posting complaints as a response is a problem because we have to delete your complaint too.
So if you are not happy, then go elsewhere.
Simple.

Natures sanitation engineers.
Springtails.
https://extension.umn.edu/nuisance-insects/springtails

https://www.microgreening.com.au/blo...ehensive-guide.

For those that have potted plants or terrariums you might see these fellas busily running about doing their daily chores in the leaf litter.
Do not fret they come with the territory.

There is an incredible interest in introducing micro fauna to simulate the native ecosystems that are created under glass.

Springtail colony's can be purchased on the internet or they can be collected in your own backyard.

Other types of micro fauna for sale for the terrarium enthusiast include Isopods(pill bugs) millipedes, snails, spiders, and many more small critters.

Fungus gnats are free

Thrift stores are fantastic places to find that unusual terrarium idea.
This large stainless and glass round chandelier is a perfect addition for a modern look.

I do not recommend adding terrestrial snails to your terrarium ecosystem if you enjoy a clean look and no fuss.
Snails reproduce and and make a mess on the glass.

Isopods and millipedes are a great nocturnal edition......they party all night and sleep all day.

Terrariums made from Jars.

Jarrariums.

Easy to make and maintain as a closed terrarium.

Some terrariums with cold hardy plants are kept outdoors year-round.
This one contains mini hosta, ferns, and orchids, moss and string of turtles.
The center feature inside the build is an aged bronze elk and the hypertufa base is covered with moss.

After a hard freeze, the base is removed and stored in an outdoor protected area.
The vintage repurposed outdoor lamp is brought indoors to be used on another base for the winter.

Thank you, making them is rewarding and they offer some respite during the winter months.

Completely understand that, I'm really not a fan of the winter dormant months.

Pincushion moss used as a base for an outdoor terrarium.

For greater success with mosses, harvest some additional soil to make transition easier.
