How much springtails i should add to my vivarium?
@AnotherWorldTerraria25 күн бұрын
It depends how large the vivarium is and what's in it. There is not a guideline or official way to measure the springtails. If you have a good culture going, you could pour in maybe 1/2 of the entire culture into a small or medium sized vivarium.

Regarding the deli containers: Would it be suitable to use containers that originally had food in them, were washed, and then cleaned further with isopropyl alcohol? It just occurs to me that instead of just recycling plastic containers I could use them as mini grow outs. Ideas?
@AnotherWorldTerrariaАй бұрын
Yes, you can definitely use food containers for growing plants. Clean with warm water and dye-free, unscented dish soap to remove any oils and residue, then rinse thoroughly. If you wash them like that, you don't need to sterilize them with alcohol, as there is unlikely to be any plant-harming pathogens remaining.

Can they eat gnat flies? 0:52
@AnotherWorldTerraria2 ай бұрын
The Drosera and Pinguicula will catch gnats. The Heliamhora probably would not catch many, if at all. But in general, carnivorous plants are not great for gnat control, if that's what your hoping. They will catch gnats, but not enough to stop infestations in a plant collection. In fact, carnivorous plants often secrete chemicals which attract insects, so they can continue to bring more bugs in as opposed to helping get rid of them.

12:20 how is that a "boring fact of the day"? Maybe we wanna know what that substrate is! 🤔 🤣 I’m one of those gravel and substrate-obsessive people. I have all kinds of bags of stuff. I should try the calcined clay. Actually; I think it could work instead of LECA or Pon in a semi-hydro setup. The clay would act like the LECA, by wicking moisture and nutrients up, plus the smaller particles are good for finer-rooted plants, like ferns or Peperomia. Another similar product that you may wanna try is Oil-Dri, the floor spill absorber. They’re just gray slate-colored clay flakes, instead of clay balls. It has so many uses. It’s been a godsend for me for DIY Pon mixes and for general substrate aeration. And best of all, 50 lbs is easily purchased for under $50. Not sure how that compares to other substrates but I know it’s much more affordable.
@AnotherWorldTerraria3 ай бұрын
Haha, yeah I'm a substrate fiend as well. I've got bags and containers of all kinds of stuff too. And I tend to use a lot of different things in my substrate mixes (I almost never use a substrate for a plant which doesn't have at least 4+ ingredients). There are lots of cool media to explore. Monto Clay (similar to Turface) is another good one.

One other nice item I've been using as plant trays is the thick plastic boot trays, sold during the cold season to place winter boots on them to contain the snow that clinged to the boots. In season, those can be found in hardware stores or, even better, at the Dollar store. They sell for like 5$ each at the Dollar store, most models are rectangular shaped and often I can find some that are about 4ft long by 1.5 to 2ft wide. Basically, they're a good fit for regular 4ft x 2ft shelves, you just need to find the correct model. Been using these for all my plants for at least 8 years now, they're still perfectly fine with no sign of wear. I even used one for watering from below, aka the "tray method" for carnivorous plants like Drosera. But I think they're best used as regular plant trays since they're not that deep, hence don't contain that much water.

What bothers me is; I was told and read that terrariums are low maintenance and easy for beginners. I bought all the equipment for one and now I have to wait almost a year in quarantine before i can plant.🤨 Seems not worth it. Who knows if i will even care a year from now with no results to see.? There has got to be a easier way to get started. Also, does moss really need to be quarantined for 9 months too if you buy from a reputable company?
@AnotherWorldTerraria6 ай бұрын
I understand your concern. Quarantine is a preference, it is NOT required. Each person has to decide on their comfort level for the risk involved. For most people making simple terrariums with common plants, skipping quarantine is probably fine. Quarantine is more for very rare plants and large collections where the spread of pests and disease could be catastropic. In other words, you get to decide if / how much quarantine you want, and how simple or complex the hobby is. I think you should just make your terrarium and go for it without a quarantine. The goal is to have fun! Again, with the moss, not necessary for you to quarantine.

do you have a recommendation for a humidity/hydrometer to put in an enclosure that is waterproof? I have 2 vivosun gauges with a probe and if the probe gets misted, it quits working! Vivosun told me the probe isn't waterproof! seems silly to make a product to be in a grow tent that is not waterproof - just misting the probe a bit ruins it!!!
@AnotherWorldTerraria7 ай бұрын
A hygrometer cannot be completely waterproof because it requires that air can reach the sensor. It would be best to avoid misting the sensor. Depending what you have the sensor in, you might try to put something over it to shield it from the spray, but that might affect the readings a bit.

Do you think it is possible to sterilize fern spores with sodium hypochlorite? Another thing I'm wondering is how you manage to keep the substrate in a closed container, without mold developing and without having sterilized it first.
@AnotherWorldTerraria7 ай бұрын
I can't say about the fern spores. I have never heard of someone sterilizing spores. I think there's less chance of issues with the spores vs a seed in terms of fungal / bacterial. As far as substrate, that's a good question. The ingredients I use are all relatively clean , and I don't store them "wet," I mix them and then moisten them. Further, bark and sphagnum are very resistant to fungal growth. You could certainly sterilize the substrate if you wanted to (I think most people do that for growing fern spore, if that's your interest). For the palm seed substrate, I just didn't think it was necessary. The seed was important because it has a bit of soft stuff on the seed which can tend to decay and then it can grow fungus or bacteria (from the fruit stuff) Hopefully that all makes sense and answers your questions
