Hello 👋 all! I made my first terrarium with a Wardian Cage. Its of a lady making terrariums. The dogs look suspiciously like my own. On the table I made 2 mini-terrariums composed of live red and green Sphagnum Moss.
Any suggestions on how to handle the wardian cage? How often to water. Will springtails stay/live in it? I've only made terrariums in lidded glass containers, so this is new.
Here are the specs:
The enclosure is 16.4"L x 11.5"W x 22.6"H Wardian Cage.
The plants are: Myrtle Topiary, Ficus Pumilla Quercifolia, Red Sphagnum Moss, Little Toscani Peperomia, Rex Begonia, Pin Cushion moss, Sphagnum Moss, Pink Panther Heuchera.
The base is composed of the following starting from the bottom: pebbles, poly-carbon mesh, charcoal, coco coir.
