Small Terrarium/ Caseng Covering Pearl Surface Area?
    #9958958 - 03/12/09 03:21 PM (15 years, 10 days ago)

Ok so i have a small shotgun FC terrarium, its a rubbermaid container Thats about 1 foot tall,  1 1/2 ft long, and 1 foot wide. Now i dont know how much pearlite to put in it but im gonna go with 4 inches, but im hoping to get away with less b/c with the height of the 4in of pearl and then add the 1 and 1/2in caseing only leaving my mushrooms to grow  4 or 5 in at the max.:( So does anyone know if i can get away with 2 and a half or 3 inches of pearl? Another concern is while resarching i read that the more surface area of the pearl the better the humidity or something like that. Well my caseing fits into the FC really snug not leaving that much of the surface area of the pearl exposed. So will this ruin the humidity in my fc or does it not matter? Thanks for any feedback!

3 inches will suffice IMO, i had same problem, do you have any of those plastic dishes for standing plant pots in, about 1 inch deep and 3 inches wide with steep sides? put one of those on the perlite with the solid side down and sit your casing on that.

if you dont have any of those plastic things, anything you have that is non-absorbant that can elevate the casing and allow for transpiration from the pearlite will do the trick.

good luck pal

You need to build a bigger terrarium, and then elevate the tray(s) on spacers such as pipe or a screen.
