Here is a video of me ignoring expert advice on terrariums. I find my own solution to a mold outbreak… let’s see if it works. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You've got a mold problem, you have 100% humidity (condensation all over). Don't spray more water, get rid of water instead.

Boiling won't do a thing for avoiding mold on wood.

What about cinnamon?

[@BuckWezr]

@@Sammy12346 might be worth a try, but in my limited experience with cinnamon it does very little to help. I either boil the wood for an hour, or "bake" it at 200F for 2 hours, and the mildew thing eventually works itself out. Your best bet is frequent air movement and springtails.

You need to keep an air flow

[@whitekingcat5118]

i got that. But still mold. Mold is inevitable

[@Scotland_the_Brave1984_McCabe]

@whitekingcat5118 I agree, mine took a downfall a couple months back and I couldn't keep up with it. It is inevitable, it's just having the time to clean it and look after it enough imo but like you say there's no stopping it as it's a warm darkish place.

My terrarium died cause of moss thats why im here trying to find a way to revive it. We just go to a vacation and when i came back theres mold all over the wood i pick up outside not washing it😢

[@BuckWezr]

Boiling is not the solution. Wood will mold, period. Springtails are the only way to go, but even they can't stave off massive mold outbreaks. In short, wood needs to be allowed to go through its initial mold phase with springtails present and other plants mostly absent. If the springtails win the battle after a couple weeks, continue finishing the terrarium.
