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
Each container includes a live springtail starter culture in a soil based living medium. Springtails are tiny and are not individually counted, so we cannot guarantee a minimum number of visible springtails in each container. Adult numbers can naturally vary, and the culture may also contain juveniles and eggs hidden within the medium.
The 1oz size is ideal for seeding a small terrarium, moss bowl, small vivarium or bioactive setup.
The 2oz size includes more living medium and is better suited for medium terrariums, larger moss bowls, vivariums or customers who would like a stronger starter culture.
The 4oz size is our largest option and is ideal for larger bioactive setups, bigger terrariums, multiple small enclosures, or anyone who wants to establish a springtail colony more quickly.
Once added to a suitable moist environment with a food source, the springtails should continue to reproduce and help break down decaying organic matter, mould and waste.
