Springtails are an essential cleaning crew for bioactive terrariums and vivariums. They help break down organic matter and support a healthier, more balanced environment. Our springtails come in a carefully selected plastic container with a lid. As they are very small and quick-moving, we cannot guarantee an exact number in each container.
How many springtails do you need for your terrarium?
1oz is best for smaller containers
2oz is ideal for medium terrariums or for splitting between smaller setups
4oz is suitable for larger terrariums or for dividing between several smaller terrariums

Fittonia is ideal for closed terrariums because it loves humidity, stays compact, and has beautifully patterned leaves. We pair it with feather moss for a soft woodland look inspired by the lush moss style featured at RHS Chelsea 2025. Decoration colours and Fittonia variety may vary, so every mini terrarium is one of a kind.
Optional add on
Beginner friendly build
You can build this terrarium by hand, or use the included plastic spade to create clean layers. For extra precision placing moss and decorations, you can add long terrarium tweezers.
Make it bioactive
You can add 1oz of springtails to create a bioactive ecosystem inside your terrarium. Springtails are tiny clean up crew insects that help break down natural waste and can reduce the chance of mould. For best results, simply mix the springtails into the soil layer while building, then continue the rest of the steps as normal.

Budget-Friendly DIY Terrarium Kit with Imperfect Eco Glass
Our standards at Highland Moss are very high. Occasionally, when working with recycled eco glass, we receive containers with slightly more visible character than usual. This can include larger air bubbles, gentle ripples, or other visual imperfections created during the glass-making process. We do not accept returns based on glass imperfections.
These containers are fully functional and safe to use. Once planted and styled, the terrarium looks just as beautiful. However, they do not quite meet the visual perfection we expect for our regular kits. Rather than letting them go to waste, we decided to turn them into a more affordable and eco-conscious option.
This budget-friendly DIY terrarium kit is perfect for anyone who values sustainability, creativity, and unique handmade pieces. It is also ideal if you love the look of eco glass and are happy to embrace its natural imperfections.
As we work with fresh plants and moss, varieties may vary slightly depending on availability.
