Start with hardy species and offer leaf litter. Avoid overcrowding tiny vessels.
Isopods complement springtails; they do not replace good plant-climate matching.
Define the upgrade
Isopods shred leaf litter and add visible movement. Begin with powder oranges or dwarf whites.
Materials
Leaf litter, a moist hide, a small starter culture, and enough space that animals are not climbing over every seedling.
Aftercare
Refresh litter. Feed vegetables sparingly. Keep springtails too.
Troubleshooting
Die-offs often follow dryness or heat spikes. Plant damage can mean underfeeding or too many animals in a nano jar.
