I keep getting mold in my terrarium, just using a glass and adding soil, sphagnum moss and chunky perlite. How can I make it more efficient?

You need a lid to keep a bug named springtails in. They eat mold.

1 likeTry googling Terrarium Tribe. They have springtails and isopods along with other terrarium stuff. I bought some springtails, soil, and moss from them for my terrarium and didn’t have any issues.
