[@matdattein]

If we consider the lifespan of a springtail to be of 12 months, and the timespan of the terrarium to be of 72 months (6 years), and that a springtail starts reproducing at 2 months old, the terrarium's springtails have been through 36 generations. If we consider that a new human generation is born every 25 years, the springtail's time within the terrarium would be equivalent to 900 human years. They're approaching a springtail's millennium already.

[@pratyysmultiverse]

That’s wonderful explanation 😊

[@ar5611]

Wow just makes you think

[@artemkortsev8279]

25 years for a new human generation? That's too high. For the past thousands of years it was more like 14-16

[@matdattein]

@@artemkortsev8279 That does make sense, yes. I just used the average the internet provided me with. Also, as a fun test, I did the calculations for my own family tree; I can trace forebears on my father's side back to 1768. Given that I was born in 1999, that gives me 231 years with 9 generations total, averaging at 25.6 years per generation. On my mother's side I can trace back to 1845 with 6 generations, averaging also at 25.6 years per generation (which is pretty neat, in my opinion).

If it's gone strong for 6 years it has achieved some kind of dynamic equilibrium. Obviously those springtails are only the latest of many, many generations that would have lived in that bottle, so you can infer that every generation at least a few manage to survive and reproduce.

[@mattoucas869]

​@@toobig7399 Your pfp invalidates anything you have to say >:)

I think it's more about food than oxygen. If the terrarium is too small for the amount of beetles, the beetle population will eat all plants and die. Roughly you can accomodate herbivores that weigh 10% of the plant mass (and again predators that weigh together 10% of their prey). And the population should be at least some dozens to stay healthy.

[@Shovel________________]

the amount of air insects use is really small, so a plant like this could probably keep them alive for a while. the real issue comes with actually keeping multiple generations of that bug going. insects, once reaching adulthood, never last very long. if you want to keep beetles in a terrarium you need a decently large ecosystem which can supply needed resources for a decently large amount of beetles to keep multiple generatons going

Are they completely sealed? How are the plants getting co2?

[@mitchl5220]

The bacteria in the soil and plants and tiny bugs within terrariums all release Co2 when they breathe @@heyzoocifer1392

Amazing !! So it's obviously reached its maximum capacity. What do you do ?? New to this so excuse if it's a dumb question ?

[@sixstix965]

If it's a self sustaining bioactive pretty much leaving it alone is fine

[@Tremain]

you don't really do anything, it can't keep growing but it can self sustain anyways

I love terrariums. Gosh I miss all the plants and bugs we used to have the world was so full of life back in the 70's

I love how the plant became the main part of the ecosystem serving as a umbrella for any other living beings.

Springtails actually are necesary for the plants to survive because they feed on the mold that would kill it if left unchecked.

I made a mini ecosystem in a terrarium when I was 12 (unintentionally). I was trying to make a "home" for a salamander my mom found. I just put soil/grass from my back yard into it & covered it with plastic wrap. I even transplanted morel mushrooms into it & they continued growing. It was a great little experiment.

The cork. The glass. It was never truly sealed.

[@ellerj641]

I accidentally created a terrarium several months back. After doing some field work, I brought back a glass jar someone threw out and some moss I collected along with other plants. I was going to use the jar for something else after cleaning it. Well, after a few days, I got to thinking, why not take some of my samples and stick them in the jar to see what happens? I thought for sure the moss was already dead. I put the soil, some rocks, then the moss in. Watered it, then closed the lid. I left it in an area with some sun. Surprisingly, the moss turned green and began surviving in its new home. Today, the moss has grown very tall and is still going. I enjoy seeing it on my desk.
