Springtails Collembola For Bio-Active Terrarium Vivarium
From: £3.00
Our springtails come in a selected plastic container with a lid. As they are small and quick, we cannot guarantee a specific number of springtails in each container.
How much sprintails do you need for your terrarium:Â
- 1oz use for smaller containers
- 2oz use for medium containers or split into smaller terrariums
- 4oz use for larger terrarium or split onto smaller terrarium
Keep in mind that springtails reproduce rapidly, so starting with a smaller population can help maintain a balanced ecosystem. As the population grows, the springtails will self-regulate based on available resources and will not overpopulate even in smaller containers.
If you order a larger amount of springtails we may use different packaging including zip bags or larger containers.
A single container usually includes various stages of insect growth, and these creatures have a lifespan of approximately one year. Initially, only the mature, larger and white springtails are easily visible, while the smaller ones may be harder to spot.
We offer 24-hour shipping for springtails. Please open the parcel immediately upon receipt. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, such as heat or cold, and direct sunlight.
Move the medium with springtails to your terrarium, you can mix it with the soil or place on the top of the potting mix/moss. Make sure the soil is moist and ready for springtails.

- How should I introduce springtails into my terrarium or vivarium?
- Upon receiving your springtails, transfer the medium they are in directly to your terrarium, either mixing it with the soil or laying it on top of the potting mix or moss. Ensure the soil is moist to provide an ideal environment for them to thrive.
- What is the ideal container size of springtails for my set-up?
- Choose 1oz for small containers, 2oz for medium containers or to split between smaller terrariums, and 4oz for large terrariums or to distribute among multiple smaller setups. Starting with a smaller amount is often sufficient as springtails reproduce quickly.
- How do I care for springtails during extreme weather conditions?
- Avoid exposing the springtails to extreme temperatures by maintaining a stable environment away from direct sunlight and severe cold or heat. Open the parcel immediately upon delivery to ensure their health and safety.

A much needed safety net for my terrarium that I had picked up at Tesco, which lacked a drainage layer

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
