Q1: What plants will I receive in my Classic Terrarium Starter Kit, and how do I ensure they thrive?
A1: The plants are randomly selected from varieties like Calathea, Ferns, and Begonias, which are all suitable for terrarium environments. Ensure they thrive by placing your terrarium in indirect light, maintaining high humidity inside, and watering sparingly, as described in the included care instructions.
Q2: Can I add bioactive components to my terrarium, and what benefit do they provide?
A2: Absolutely, you can enhance your terrarium with springtails and isopods available as add-ons. These organisms help in breaking down decay inside the terrarium, thereby preventing mould and odours, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Q3: What is the purpose of the clay pebbles included in the kit, and how should I use them?
A3: Clay pebbles serve as a drainage layer to prevent root rot by keeping excess water away from the plant roots. Place them at the bottom of your terrarium before adding the special terrarium mix potting blend and the plants.
