How to Culture Springtails- Care, Feeding, and More!

A general overview of culturing and caring for springtails, specifically tropical (Collembola sp.) and temperate (Folsomia Candida) white springtails. Springtails are some of the most popular and effective decomposers in terrariums. They are essential to properly setting up and maintaining a bioactive enclosure. They are called springtails due to their furcula, which is an appendage that allows them to jump up to several inches. In order to land properly from these large jumps, they have an organ on their abdomen called the collophor. This organ assists them in grounding themselves and assists in stabilization when jumping and landing. Most springtails range from 1-4mm in size, making them hard to see with the naked eye. Because of this, many species are yet to be discovered or well documented, and even fewer are present in the hobby. In North America, there is an estimated 700 species and there is an estimated 6000 species worldwide. To shop products in this video, visit our website westcoastcreatures.com!
