Our Story
Terrarium Tribe was founded by Dan Jones in 2019 after he noticed that a lot of terrarium advice online was vague, recycled, and light on the practical details that actually matter.
What started as an educational resource has grown into a terrarium brand combining practical content with carefully selected supplies for planted, closed, and bioactive builds.
Today, Terrarium Tribe helps hobbyists build better terrariums through clearer guidance on the systems, materials, and living components that make them work – from plant choice and substrate structure to moss health, springtails, isopods, and long-term care.
The idea behind it is simple: better information and better materials lead to healthier, more stable miniature ecosystems.
