FAQ About Indoor Plant Terrarium Ecosystem Design

What substrates are best for terrariums?

Substrate choice is crucial for terrarium health and generally includes a few layers: a drainage layer of pebbles or gravel, a layer of activated charcoal to keep water fresh, and a layer of potting soil compatible with the specific plant species. Some terrariums may use specialty substrates like sphagnum moss for higher humidity needs.
