Spider mites?

My terrarium is about 1-1,5 months old and bioactive (springtails and isopods)

Today was the first time I decided to look really closely on my plants in terrarium (which I obviously should've done earlier). That's what I found on the top leaf of black pepper vine. A lot of tiny dark spots and one clear moving. It's a size of sugar grain or smaller.

What should I do with that? they're clearly starting to eat my plants (the plants were a hard work to find and buy). I'M STARTING TO GO CRAZY, terrarium was my dream omg😱😫

Vivarium plants/hardscape advice

Hello there! 🖐

I'm glad to be a new member of vivarium community, a lot of you create masterpieces here ;)

Sooo, I made my very first vivarium for a White's tree frog (I'll buy It later, when everything is established and ok). I know I probably did some mistakes with hardscape, my viv looks flat and bald.

Could you give me some advices on how to make it more bushy (¿) and verdurous. Maybe some plants advices or ideas. I'd be very very happy if u helped, because I keep staring at it everyday and it feels off. I'm ready to change whatever it takes 🐸💚

Need help with nephrolepis duffii

I first bought this nephrolepis for my White's tree frog vivarium, but it seemed that there's too much light for it so it started to dry and its leaves and fronds turned brown on ends

I decided to give it a try in a pot. I potted it with a wick watering system. Gave it a nice small pot for its​ small roots. The soil is absorbent but loose enough for root aeration. And Its leaves are ​still drying and turning brown, the plant looks bald af. What can I do to save it and make it fresh? 🥲🥺

Btw sorry for all grammar mistakes, I try my best to describe the problem in english​ 👉👈

Watering vivarium plants

Hi guys, I'm in high need of your advice 🙏🙏

It's my first time building a tropical bioactive vivarium, and I added a few plants there.

It's been about 3-4 weeks since then. I mist them twice a day, the soil seems wet (not dripping wet and soggy). There's a thin layer of water on the bottom under lava rocks. I'm REALLY nervous I water plants too many or not enough. Btw plants are fine and they grow, I'm just afraid I'll kill them accidentally.

And I suddenly noticed some white microscopic worms on the background, Is it okay for humid vivarium or....?

HELP, PLEASE!! 😭
