MODERNRIUM CARE GUIDE

FOR Terrariums and Paludariums

Even all terrariums are balanced ecosystems with air, plants, soil, nutrients, animals (springtails, woodlice, beneficial bacterias …) they would still need a little care to thrive.

- Use bottle sprayer (tap water is fine) to spray the terrarium one per fortnight or when needed. Give it a dam spray at once (mostly on the moss area as it doesn't have root system and will be the first plant to dry). *For the Demijohn 54l you will just need to pour 200ml into it once every 5 months.

- Place it at a BRIGHT spot (ex: next to a window), avoid direct sunlight and any direct heat source. Install an app named “Light meter” into your phone and use it to measure lighting condition at the spot and make sure the terrarium got at least 800 LUX.

- Trimming is required occasionally, just with a pair of scissors. Use tissue or baby wet wipe to clean the side of glass once a while to avoid built up algae and also give you a clear view. 

- Fertilizer is NOT required within the first two years.

- For terrariums (paludariums) with water features, please keep the pump runs 24/7. Top up water when it’s running low. There is no need to change water too often (twice a year is recommended if there is no fish/aquatic animals)

- For the use of an artificial grow light, use them with a fixed period of time during a day, maximum amount of  lighting is 8 hours daily. (a timer is recommended). *For carnivorous plant setup which include Venus fly trap, Serracenia ... you will need lighting at 15-17 hours daily. For Nepenthes just treat them as an usual tropical plant at 8 hours daily.
