I don't have any live plants currently. I'd like to, but I'm worried about bringing in unwanted bugs with them and not being able to get rid of them. Springtails are no biggie, but I wouldn't want anything else. Once the stores start getting plants for sale is when I think I'll make the change over to real plants and fill the terrarium up real well, maybe keep a couple fake plants just in case some start dying on me lol.
I don't have drainage...??? How can you make drainage? The soil was moist when we put it in, it's starting to dry up so I mist it good quite a few times a day.
About plants, what are the best plants to get for them? I've heard a lot of wide leaves, maybe some grass plants too? I am really worried they'll cut theirselves on something. When I got my plants, I was making sure to buy wide leaves without any sharp edges they could hurt theirselves on. They're also not near the window, the room is shaped like an L with the window being at the top of the L and they are just at the corner of the L on the *top* side. I hope that makes sense lol!! I want to move them but the spiders are taking up most of the room. I may be able to convince my bf to switch spots with something so it could get a bit more light from the window. Anyways I hear there's plants that don't need much light to grow...
I've also not changed the substrate since I got Orchid March 28.
