🍂 Terrarium Care During Seasonal Changes

Terrariums may be self-sustaining ecosystems, but they are still influenced by seasonal changes in light, temperature, and humidity. By adjusting your care routine throughout the year, you can keep your miniature landscape healthy and thriving.

🌞 Summer Care: Beat the Heat

Avoid Direct Sunlight – Closed terrariums can overheat quickly under summer rays. Place them in bright but indirect light.

Mist Moderately – Heat increases evaporation. Mist lightly if moss looks dry but avoid waterlogging.

Increase Ventilation – Open lids briefly if condensation stays on glass all day.

🍁 Autumn Care: Transition Time

Reduce Watering – As temperatures cool, plants slow down. Mist less often.

Prune Back Growth – Prevent overcrowding before winter dormancy.

Adjust Lighting – Shorter days may require extra LED grow light hours.

❄️ Winter Care: Light & Humidity Balance

Supplement Light – Use full-spectrum grow lights to offset shorter days.

Avoid Drafts & Heaters – Cold windows and dry indoor heating can stress plants.

Mist Occasionally – Heating lowers humidity; check moss and adjust as needed.

🌱 Spring Care: A Fresh Start

Prune & Refresh – Remove dead leaves to make way for new growth.

Replant if Needed – Spring is ideal for resetting or expanding your terrarium.

Bioactivity Boost – Add fresh moss, springtails, or isopods if nutrient cycling slows.

✅ Year-Round Tip: Use a thermometer and hygrometer to track conditions. Small adjustments make a big difference.
