as bright as possible BUT no direct sun, as this heats up the glass inside too much
________________________
turn the glass regularly so
that all plants get even light
LOC________ATION____
best place on a north window
________________________
do not place over a running heater
_______________________
your glass should not be
more than 2-3m away
from a window
TEM___PE__RATURE__
your glass shouldn't be
exposed to excessive temperature fluctuations

RO________OMMA________TES
to ensure that your ecosystem can function smoothly, we add springtails (Collembola) - literally your own little
cleaning force
________________________
the springtails eat dead leaves, mold and this returns the nutrients to the cycle. So don't worry if something dies, it will be taken care of
_______________________
you don't have to worry because your roommates are completely harmless
if your plants have grown too large over time, you can prune them with disinfected scissors
_______________________
it's best to leave the lid open for 24 hours after cutting so that the interfaces can dry well
_______________________
many plants in your ecosystem can be propagated using head cuttings. You can also plant cut off tips in a new place in the glass
CU_________T__
no container is really 100% tight. Water molecules are so extremely small that loss over time can hardly be avoided
_______________________
if there is no more water on the glass or the moss looks dry, this is a sign to pour
_______________________
please only pour with decalcified or rainwater - only a few milliliters necessary !!!
_______________________
Rule of thumb: The substrate should be moist, but
there should be no
water on the bottom
