What type of plants should i use for my reptile/hermit crab terrium?
Soil must be high in organic matter, clean and well-drained. Most potting soils sold at nurseries and garden centers have been sterilized. Since plants are not meant to grow rapidly, adding fertilizer is not necessary. in general, about a quarter of the container will be used for drainage material and soil. Place a layer of pea gravel or aquarium gravel in the bottom of the container for drainage. Next, place a ½-inch layer of horticultural charcoal above the pebbles to keep the soil from developing a sour smell. Sphagnum moss may be placed over the charcoal to prevent soil from sifting into the drainage area. Add relatively dry soil to the container (it should not be so wet that it sticks to the side). For most containers, a minimum thickness of 1½ inches is needed. To add interest you may choose to arrange the soil so that it slopes from the back of the container towards the front. Rocks and wood should be added to the container after the soil. Then place the plants in the container.
