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

What’s inside
Eco glass jar with cork lid (approx 12 x 8cm)
Live Fittonia (Nerve Plant) in a surprise colour
Lush feather moss
Clay pebbles (drainage layer)
Our handcrafted terrarium soil
Cute mini decorations (colour may vary)
Plastic spade for easy layering
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.

Create a natural look in your world of terrariums with Kuwa Root, a beautiful piece of natural wood hardscape that adds instant structure, height, and character. Kuwa root is ideal for terrariums, vivariums, moss displays, and planted bowls. Use it to anchor your layout, support epiphytes, guide climbing plants, or create a focal point for moss and miniature plants.
Every Kuwa root is totally unique, with its own shape, twists, and texture. Your piece will be selected randomly based on the size you choose, so no two setups will look the same. If it is too large for your project, it can be cut down to suit your container and the look you want.
Activated charcoal (charcoal heated to increase its adsorptive power) is a great house plant soil amendment that can help improve your plants health.
Mix the charcoal with soil or add a layer on the bottom to improve drainage, absorb odours, and toxins and prevent moulds as well as balance/lower pH.
It is an excellent absorbent which can absorb fertilizer and release slowly for a longer period providing a healthy dose on a regular basis.
