how to save a dying terrarium #879736

Asked August 01, 2024, 12:41 PM EDT

I purchased a terrarium from the arboretum about two months ago. I have tried more water, less water, more sun, less sun and the plants continue to wilt and die. If I replace a plant, it does not last a week before it's wilts and dies. Please help. Thanks
