Terrarium Observations

There is a lot of condensation on the top and sides of our terrarium. Our soil looks dry. All of our seeds have sprouted, except the barley. Corn and radish are flourishing. Our plants have grown a lot, but our beetles have not changed. The beetles like to dig, and the soil in our terrarium is perfect for digging.

The key to planting seeds is to make sure they have plenty of water and sunlight, and are kept at the right temperature. You should only lightly sprinkle soil onto your seeds. Different seeds do not require different planting techniques, but different seeds may have different requirements.

Barley isn't the only seed that hasn't sprouted, we have one corn and one pea seed that has not sprouted. Next time we observe our terrarium, I think those seeds will have sprouted.
