This Mini ecosystem is home to a variety of different bugs such as springtails & isopods. I’ll break the terrarium build down step by step so you can have a go at making something like this yourself, I hope you enjoy the video!

Yeah isopods are the cows of terrarium world haha, no matter how much moss I plant and extra veggies I give to distract them, the moss always gets eaten up, my advice: use only a handful of isopods, it'll take them longer to eat everything

The terrarium is gorgeous. I also have one and many tell me it's beautiful. cmq is mine you can see at 180 ° since I tried to make a fake 3d background with expansive foam ... I wonder but the plants are bought or taken from nature (park, forest, forest ..) and then inserted inside. to me it works fine . The plants inside now how are there updated videos ? Can I show you my terrarium, if so where? do you have instagram ?greetings Maxim
