Planted native terrarium! What can live in it?

I just made this 0 dollar planted terrarium, I don’t know how long to water it for or anythingg any advice is appreciated. It’s my 1st time scaling with lots of unique materials I’d on plants would be nice too

 

I have one of these in a jar. First, get a nice high light for it and a lid. It will likely need a lot of humidity. There’s not really much else to it. It’s one of those hit or miss things. Sometimes they work great, sometimes they flop.

 

Can I use ceran wrap and ambient and natural sunlight? I added fluval gro+ fertilizer and watered it with a syringe using my aquarium water

Is a room light sufficient, I put a lamp on it and my window is cold. It’s Indiana where it gets freezing in the winter and burning hot in the summer, so a perfect temperate environment should work right?

 

Ceran wrap yes, but sunlight might make it too hot long term

That should work great!! But if the plants show a sign of too much/little light be prepared to adjust! best of luck!

 

What is the difference i put the highest up light for it
And angled it sorta away

 

I agree with the humidity thing. And you need very strong lighting. Ambient light won’t suffice. I’ve grow all sorts of native misses in jars and tanks. I use LED lighting because of how bright it is. Being near a window won’t be good. For winter, it works perfectly, but summer will cause it to overheat and everything inside to die.

 

The sun’s light creates a lot more heat than a lamp sunlight would end up heating the terrarium to unsafe levels, similar to why you don’t want to put a small tank next to a window

 

Ah ok time to put my terrarium on my nightstand, here’s the light.

What can live in it with no heater

 

Whats the volume? What's the environment going to be like?

 

Boom. Idk what it’s like but it is waters I will be able to mist it if needed

 

IMO, its not really that big for much. Some insects may work.

 

Can you post a pic of the whole thing? That could help people tell how large it is.

 

Some snails maybe
