Habitat

Use a small, ventilated plastic or glass container with a tight-fitting lid to maintain humidity.
Fill the bottom with a base layer of charcoal (lump or horticultural) or coco coir. Ensure the substrate is moist but not waterlogged.

Temperature and Humidity

Keep between 60-75°F for temperate species. They tolerate cooler temperatures but reproduce faster in their optimal range.
Maintain high humidity by lightly misting the container every 2-3 days. Avoid overwatering to prevent drowning.

Food

Feed springtails decaying organic matter or yeast.
Sprinkle a small amount of active dry yeast, uncooked rice grains, or fish food flakes. Replace uneaten food as needed to prevent mold buildup.

Cleaning and Maintenance

While springtails consume some mold, excessive buildup can harm the culture. Adjust feeding if mold becomes an issue.
Harvest springtails by gently flooding a corner of the container with water, causing them to float for easy collection.
