Terrarium Soil Mix - 1:1:1 Coir, Soil, Perlite?

Jeffrey Schneider

I plan to create a number of terrariums for my home.

Previous terrariums have done well, but I want to get the soil JUST right since I am creating so many at one time. Of course, there will be a layer of charcoal and drainage.

From reading through posts on the forum, here is what I have come up with for a terrarium containing Moss, Selaginella and Ferns:

1:1:1

 Coir

 Potting Soil

 Perlite

and

 A bit of Charcoal mixed in

 1/2" - 1" layer of Coir on top

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Jeff
