MORE SUNDEW KITS AVAILABLE! A tiny carnivorous plant swamp that should grow for you even if you IGNORE IT ENTIRELY, by which I mean the following are some jars I have never touched (let alone opened) in over six months to a year:
This is the scale of the little baby sundews I will send you:
Here's how the sphagnum moss can grow depending on conditions:
Tinier little plants and liverworts will also come in your moss! Includes instructions in the box but here's some FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Don't they ever need air?!
-No! Some plants can't handle but the processes of Photosynthesis and a symbiotic microbiome allow many plants to live in an airtight container as long as it holds any moisture.
Do I need to water these?
-No! If they're in a properly sealed clear container that never loses moisture, you will never have to water these. If you do need to add water for any reason though it HAS to be distilled, reverse osmosis water, or fresh rain water, not just filtered or purified water. Luckily you can buy distilled water by the gallon at any grocery store! This is the one rule you have to take to the letter; carnivorous plants grow in such a strict type of wetland, even water from most healthy natural ponds will kill them!
How often do they need to be fed?
-Technically never. As carnivorous plants they will grow bigger, faster and more colorful if you give them tiny prey, such as ants or fruit flies, and some people have success with crumbs of fish food, but be sure to remove any food that gets moldy. If you NEVER feed them, they will still grow anyway, just scrappier.
What about climate?
-Sundews are generally fine as long as they don't freeze solid or roast at over 100f for too long, but can still bounce back even from a little frost or a heat wave, basically more temperature-resistant than you probably are! What are their light requirements? -ANY light that plants can live on, including plant-friendly indoor LED lights! Sundews can make do just fine in fairly low to medium light, but also enjoy intense, full blast sunlight, which can even turn them reddish pink over time. As long as they aren't in total darkness, they should do alright! What about the mosses?? -Sphagnum moss grows right alongside sundews in the wild and enjoys all the same conditions!
What if it dies anyway?!
-Sometimes a sundew dies down naturally, especially after it produces a flower or under prolonged winter cold, but leave it be and you might eventually notice new growth. Here's one of mine that turned completely brown and rotten looking, then months later, every leaf sprouted a baby one:

The springtail cultures in my terrariums are so interesting to watch because in one terrarium you can see a wholesome example of the springtail community working together to break down a dead leaf and you get to see the decomposition cycle and how terrariums sustain themselves and then in another terrarium you're watching a cage fight that started exactly like the "she's touching me" argument in Lilo and Stitch with the whole neighbourhood stood in a circle to watch shit go down like where is the middle ground here

Edible Pokemon terrariums!
My fiance and I are getting married this summer, and for a nerdy touch, we’ve been buying Japanese gashapon figures for some nerdy terrarium centerpieces! But I wanted to make edible versions, and as part of our St. Jude fundraiser, donors could choose how we decorated! By the end of May, we had raised over $1000, and made three unique terrariums that all had an Eeveelution touch!
Poncho Eeveelution terrarium: rock candy, chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbs, shredded coconut, vanilla cake
Beach terrarium: rock candy, graham cracker crumbs, granola, blue Jello
Ghost terrarium: rock candy, Oreo crumbs, OMG chocolate clusters, candy bones, purple potato chips

scaphosepalum breve spp.
they are a continuous bloomer for most of the year! they put out one or two flowers on the end of each bloom spike and then as one flower blooms and fades a new one forms.
mine was aborting it’s flowers until i gave her more ambient humidity with this open terrarium as well as some more natural light. five or so months since i repotted and she is thriving <3

This small, blue tinted mason jar is kept relatively dark, containing only a little live moss, wet soil and damp wood, which all supports three different little guys...I thought!
First are these extremely tiny local glass snails
Then there are these millipedes that never ever get any bigger than this
There are globular cave springtails in there that can be seen as moving white specks and it was easier to use a photo from springtails.us where you can actually buy these for your vivariums, in fact you can see one as a blurry dot by the millipede
But while taking these photos, I saw this mite! This is almost definitely a predatory species. This jar hasn't been opened for months and everything else is still there, so at least thus far, the balance between this flesh eating beast and the springtail herds must be fairly stable.
I might actually try adding the algae eating mites from my biggest jars. I have more of all these other species, so if those eat too much of the available food and take over I can still start up a similar jar. They might even be more favorable food for the predator, which could otherwise have been eating baby millipedes (I do only see just a couple adults)

okay so i just got this rabbits foot fern (davallia tyermannii) from glass box tropicals and i think it might be the Only plant ive ever ordered online that had no problems. it was PERFECT. like it had NO dead or dying fronds, no visible pests or diseases, WAS ACTIVELY GROWING NEW FRONDS AND RHIZOMES. and the wildest part of it all... wasnt even rootbound. the soil is perfect the pot size is perfect. that almost never happens except when i buy carnivores bc they have hardly any roots but for a FERN???? unheard of. so glass box tropicals slayed with this one 10/10 would get more plants from them except they somehow happen to not have a single one of the ones that i want rn
