IMPORTANT
Please always make sure to use a good quality, suitable growing medium in your terrarium as it plays a crucial role in the overall health and growth of plants. Poor soil or not suitable for terrarium soil can lead to poor drainage, waterlogging, and poor nutrient uptake and result in weak & unhealthy ecosystems. Good quality soil ensures that your plants and moss have the proper environment to thrive, promoting healthy growth and long-lasting beauty in your terrariums.
