Found out most terrarium failures happen in the first 90 days from a plant shop blog

They said it's usually from overwatering or not enough air flow. Has anyone else had a project crash right around the three month mark?

That "first 90 days" thing is a bit off. It's not a magic number. I've seen terrariums fail after four months because the plants outgrew the space, or a year later when a fungal issue finally took hold. The three month mark might just be when the initial excitement wears off and the daily care routine slips. The real killer is always the same, too much water and not enough fresh air, whether it's week two or month six.

Yeah exactly... my first one made it almost five months before it just got... swampy. You're so right about the water and air thing, it's always that.
