Best way to keep springtails thriving?

[u/Justsumhuman20]

Just picked up some springtails as my terrarium is starting to get some mold growth and I’m tired of having to pull out decaying leaves. Any tips to make sure these guys thrive?

I have mine in charcoal and water in a plastic shoe box. I feed them about a quarter of a baby carrot and throw it out and replace it if it's looking like it's going bad, usually about a week.

The shoebox or the carrot?

The shoe.
