Friend of mine abandoned his terrarium and let it dry out for a couple weeks before offering it to me. I’ve never had one before but I’ve had aqua scape type things like a pond and what not also have owned all different plants and reptiles (and kept them alive and healthy). He said if I just let it cycle every thing will bounce back. It’s been a month and now there’s a lot of mold and it doesn’t seem like anything is coming back. What should I do? Pluck out the moldy spots and let it ride? Take all the plant matter out and start new? Literally any advice is appreciated cause I’m not too sure what I’m doing tbh. Thought I did but that doesn’t seem so.

Introduce a new colony of springtails, get some isopods, make sure to water everything and it should all bounce back like he said, don’t worry too much, the springtails will eat the mold fast if it’s a big enough colony
I’ll get right on that, thank you. Do u have any suggestions on amount for a ten gal? I’m not putting any thing else in there predator wise. Don’t want the tank to get overwhelmed
